Available track schools
Anyone offer advice on a good trackday training school?
I’ve look at Mr Haslams, but its £270 for what is basically 3 sessions on a half day, which is rather expensive. I’d like to be able to use the schools track bikes as I don’t want to bin my own on, and im sure the training on offer at Donnington is one of the best, but can anyone advise any other options so I can have a look into them.

Re: Available track schools
What about the Mick Boddice school at Darley Moor? Lookin at the web site you get a full day for £260. One down side could be the track, my brothers raced there years ago and it aint the safest track.
http://www.boddicedarleytraining.co.uk/ Personally, I did the RH school last year and TBH it is a bit expensive but plan to go again this year. Unless somebody posts some good reviews of Mick's

Re: Available track schools
I've done both and RH twice and Boddice once on a very wet day it seemed that we got more track time at Darley Moor but I wasn't watching the clock.

Re: Available track schools
Holdup, likewise im in Kent. Brands would be perfect, I can't wait to ride there.
But my bike is my work hack and I need it every day (even in the snow ; )). Im looking for a daytime MOT/track bike though to cover it, but I want to get out on track this year, sooner the better. |

Re: Available track schools
I've seen that.
Unsure of the legalitys of having a completly track bike on a daytime MOT (i.E indicators etc). But also sometime im thinking about. Track bike with Daytime MOT for road riding and track whoaring. |

Re: Available track schools
You wont find any cheap hire bikes that will be allowed on track.
Wouldn't worry about your age or experience. Track riding will vastly improve your riding as you can learn more how the bike reacts. I just want a bike to use as I'll ride hard and fast. I know what im like and may push that "little too hard" and venture to a gravel trap. Which would be a pain in the bottom for me |
