Ron Haslam Race School - Too expensive!

...time or money! Back from the school today.
What did I learn? Well, I will try not to slate the school too much as the guys there are very nice people, but I thought it was very expensive for what I got which was 3 x 20mins on track and not much instruction. I asked as many questions as possible and kept asking for instruction but the response was mostly "yeah, your riding is fine, just keep practicing". It was also quite annoying that we kept having to hold back and slow down again and again for the fast groups.

I would advise anyone thinking of doing the school to do a track day with a more experienced friend and get tips, or just watch the California Super Bike School videos.

This is just my experience of it. HTH

Thanks for that mate, i was thinking of doing this, but probably will do a track day instead and use their free instructors.

Always a good idea. Most trackday companies offer free instruction from known top ranking club racers and some extremely good road riders. I've taken advantage of this a few times and my track riding improved beyond belief

A few people have recommended this approach so will give it a try, got nothing to lose i suppose.

To be honest I reckon you get more instruction at track days. Demand on the instructors is always suprisingly low and the teaching has always been one-on-one. It's free but I bung a tip at the end of the day

When you doing this?
I have been looking for days in the next fortnight and there are none showing availability.

I want one before that tbh mate, but, if i like the one i do i could come to this as well provided there's space left.
