Ducati Track Days return for 2021

Ducati returns to track day action in 2021, with not two but three of the best UK circuits to choose from.

The track day opener will take place at Donington’s full Moto GP circuit on the 20th May, followed by Brands Hatch, indy on the 26th May and Silverstone’s full MotoGP circuit on the 7th July.

All three dates will be *Ducati only days, enabling Ducati owners to ride their pride and joy in their natural environment together with fellow Ducatisti. The Ducati UK track days have become a ‘must do’ in the UK Ducatisti calendar catering for all levels of experience and ability with sessions for novice, intermediate and advanced riders.

To open the days up to as many Ducati motorcycles as possible, Ducati have booked days with the least noise restrictions that the circuits allow on those dates. Donington will be a rare unsilenced day, with Silverstone a 105db static noise limit and Brands Hatch a 105db drive by limit.

The onus will be on the rider to ensure their motorcycle is within the circuit’s noise regulations. Also new for 2021 – all bikes must now have a front brake lever guard or hand guard fitted at all UK Track days.

Full Covid safety measures will be in place and will be adapted to the current regulations closer to the time. As such, at this stage no spectators will be allowed to attend, and social distancing will need to be adhered to within the garages and paddock areas. Each event will include Breakfast and Lunch for riders.

*Ducati only track days include Scramblers.

Back to track…motorbike track day bookings surge post-lockdown

Bookings for motorbike track days are up by 49% in June compared to 12 months ago, as lockdown restrictions are slowly eased, reports TrackDays.co.uk, a leading track day provider.

The surge back to the track also shows no sign of slowing down in July, with many motorbike track day events already fully booked.

Dan Jones, operations manager at TrackDays.co.uk, said: “Each event can take between 90 and 120 bikes and we’ve got almost 40 events in July alone, so you can see just how busy it is.

“The huge surge in bookings shows how keen our customers are to get back on the track following months of lockdown.

“I’ve no doubt that the summer months overall will be very busy as riders look to make up for the lost track time and get some much-needed practice, so my advice is to book early to secure a space.”

Circuits available for motorbike track days with TrackDays.co.uk include Oulton Park, Mallory Park, Snetterton, Brands Hatch, Cadwell Park and Lydden Hill, to name but a few.

Dan added: “With the possibility that road traffic levels could surpass that of pre-lockdown, then a motorbike track day at a race circuit provides a good way to escape the stresses caused by the increasing traffic congestion.

“Longer term, we also expect motorbike track days to continue to rise significantly in popularity, as recent research shows an increase in people looking to buy motorbikes to avoid using public transport.

“These new owners will soon discover that a track day is one of the best ways to see what their machine is capable of.”
