Ducati Days, The Art of Corse, is going to be a fantastic event for you giving you the chance to get the most from your Ducati and to develop your own riding technique.
With only Ducati bikes allowed in the Paddock and on Track this will be a very exclusive event
This will be more than a track day and a chance for Ducati fans to experience all that Ducati is about, from a Museum of historic bikes to a dedicated Ducati training package, Ducati focused trade stands and a great atmosphere...created by Ducati fans.
The details:
We have reserved garages for our customers, where you can base your bike for the event, we will provide technical help, tools, set up advise and the use of our racing team staff to help answer any questions (we’ll even help analyse your datalogger and you can speak to our race riders for advise) all complimentary.
The weekend is split into two days with different experiences on each:
Saturday:
Start the day with a complimentary breakfast and coffee then you have the choice of either a whole day of track riding or training day:
ON TRACK RIDING Option for Day 1
We will begin on the ‘International’ circuit running out of the all new Silverstone ‘Wing’ pits. Registration and welcome will still take place at the National Pit Garages.
This will be split into 3 groups dependant on ability and preference at time of booking: Novice, Intermediate and Expert (subject to availability)
There will be on-track instructors who can help for a session as well as our race team staff who will help you prepare your bike for the first session.
Then Lunch is provided.
For some variety they are running 2 tracks, the National and the new International track (previously called Southern) so we swap over at lunch time allowing all Riders to learn the full Moto GP circuit (minus 2 corners) in smaller manageable chunks.
Limited to just 150 riders (3 groups of 50)
TRAINING Option for Day 1
Training will be offered under the tutelage of The California Superbike School. The day will begin on the National circuit and will then switch to the new International circuit after lunch to continue.
The Training day consists of 3 classroom sessions and 5 track sessions assisted on track by CSS Coaches. The focus of this training format is to work on areas such as Entry Speed, Throttle Control and Steering Input making a smoother rider and to ensure you get the most your Ducati.
Limited to 90 spaces (3 groups of 30)
Sunday Day 2
Sunday 22 May will be all 240 riders (3 groups of 80) on the full Moto GP circuit. Run from the National Pit Garages.

On-track instructors from California Superbike School will be on hand to help you for a session and we will also be offering expert advice from instructors in the pits so they can come and have a chat at any time!
Parade Lap 1-2pm (time subject to change) 2 or 3 laps of full circuit with controlled speed and safety cars. We are aiming to break a World Record for the most Ducati on track at one time.... this will be a sight to be seen (and heard!) .
So it is set to be a great event with lots to do and enjoy!

There is an option to bring a friend or partner, who can enjoy the paddock facilities, breakfast and lunch with you, full access to the paddock and displays etc. so they can enjoy the day with you. Guest tickets are £50 for both days.

ALL ticket variations (Rider, Guest, Parade) give the participant breakfast and lunch each day with entry to The Paddock and all viewing areas. Security will not allow anyone on site without a relevant ticket. and all ticket holders must sign on at registration each day.
All Rider and Parade lap ticket holders will receive a Ducati Days T shirt (size to be given on booking form) that says they have ridden the Moto GP Circuit at Silverstone. Ducati Day T shirts will be available for sale at the event for all ages and sizes, but without the “I Rode the ....” print to ensure the exclusivity of being able to ride at this event.

We are planning to stay the Saturday night at a local hotel and have a meal and glass of wine (just the one!) so all attending with us are welcome to come and join us – I’ll send you the details.
Some notes from Ducati UK for the event..
All riders to provide;
A valid DVLA Full (not provisional), unrestricted (not 33bhp restricted) licence issued by the DVLA or the equivalent foreign licence issued in the riders country of residence. ACU licences are also permitted for the event. Please remind customers to bring your licence (both parts) on the day.
A Road or Track prepared motorcycle in good condition both mechanically and cosmetically and fit for the purpose to which it is intended.
Full riding Kit – One piece suit or 2 piece zip (front and back) together leathers, full face motorcycle helmet, motorcycle boots and gloves. PLEASE NOTE: Textile clothing is not permitted to be used at this circuit.
Noise Testing
Noise monitors are located around the circuit – Noise limit for both days is 105dba. No refunds or credits will be given should a bike fail a noise test. We believe a standard Ducati will be under 105dba but you should note that tired race cans often make a Ducati louder than this, just call us for any advise on this.
Track Day Insurance
Please note that your road insurance will NOT cover your bike on track, and that Ducati UK do not cover you or your bike whilst at this event. Track Day insurance is available and Ducati will include some contacts in their confirmation letter sent out prior to the event.
Photographer
Gary Bailey of Picman will be on site to take photos of the day, and will have enough photographers around the circuit to ensure every Rider is individually photographed. For the Parade Lap photos, more general shots will be taken. Customers are able to buy photos on the day/s direct from Picman who will be situated in the National Pit Lane Garages. If anyone does not want to be photographed, on track, in Pit Lane or Paddock then they must let an organiser know on entry to the event.
Track Discipline
California Superbike School will be responsible for all activity on track and in the Pit Lane. Any inappropriate behaviour, or unsafe bikes/riding gear in Pit Lane or on Track can result in your customer being removed from the event. Course Control will have full authority from Ducati UK and their decision is final.
