Have a look at www.biketrackdays.co.uk
You should find all the track day listings and be able to get an idea of the sort of price you should be paying. |

Took a look at that and a few others, pretty standard pricing
Going to do something really sad and learn the track before I go  cant afford to chuck it down the road!

 for the organisers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!How often are you going to bin the bike? You would be a lot better paying 80 to 130 quid in the uk, with instruction You would be even better doing a day at California Superbike or Ron Haslam where you might learn something

if you read the the web site instruction can be added on a one to one basis!! 8.5hrs a day you can ride for four days compared to 3hrs at any uk trackday where not all that time is spent on the track!!! so thats 34 hrs for £895 including bike hire for four days... or £1870 equilvalent for the UK prices on your own bike!!!!! which would you prefer?? Rainy Oulton Park or 35c Thailand.??? hhmmm hard decision exactly about the bike... if you slide of one of Ron Haslams bikes you can expect a hefty bill or even worse on your own bike!!!! whereas if you throw a bike away out there they don't charge you for the first time. (hopefully last time).... I think you should read the write up Fast bikes done on this very company. its on the grounds of this why we are going!!! Do you honestly think you could learn more riding for about 3 hours round a track or for 4 full days  i wonder !!!

Are there many Thai riders in the WSB or Moto GP rounds than?
Ron Haslam charges per day for the bikes, there is no extra cost if you bin it. A typical track day in the uk is made up of people who think they can ride fast. multiply that by 4 days. Just watch some of the riders who turn up at Donington Park, I do , quiite often! If you want to ride fast on the track, get some track training, a rainy Oulton Park is more use to us that live iin England. Try mick Boddice at Darley Moor, or try some proper training at Jerez or Laguna Seca if you want sun |
