Track school day at the Estoril GP circuit
The Estoril track is only open to the public about 3 times a year, so it's quite a special opportunity to be able to race there. The days are with full instruction, as well as free style riding time in the afternoons.
This is not "a free for all" race day all day, you do have time to ride on your own with no instructors but the days are designed to improve your track day skills, with evaluation, and professional instruction given, before they let you loose. The following facilities are in place:
- 3 groups operate - beginner, intermediary, pro - this way everyone gets a chance to ride at their pace and to enjoy the event to the best of their own ability, without being intimidated by others.
- Mechanic on site - Bike set up - suspension etc by qualified mechanic, plus understanding of what elements affect bikes during high speed racing.
- 35% off Pirelli tyres - on site, fitted and balanced.
- Lunch, unlimited soft drinks and snacks.
- 5 hours riding in total on the track, split in to 30 minute sessions, these can be quite challenging as they are longer than most UK circuits, and a 30 minute free ride.
- Instructors, mostly ex Spanish and Portuguese circuit riders.
- Full medical facilities on site.
- Prizes and certificates for various categories.
