California Superbike School will be running a 2-day camp at Silverstone for the first time in the UK this August, offering riders a chance to enjoy extra track time while improving their skills in the art of cornering. Taking place on the all-new South circuit (1.9 miles long with 12 turns) students can ride their own bike or hire a fully prepared 2010 Yamaha R6 with the latest Dunlop Sportsmart tyres and fuel included.
Already hugely popular with students returning year after year, previously the 2-day camps have been held in Spain during the spring. Running on two consecutive days enables first time students to cover the foundation skills covered in Levels 1 & 2 of the California Superbike School; Level 1 covers the six most common cornering errors, while Level 2 focuses of training the eyes - the key to smooth, fast and confident riding. Returning students can progress through the School’s cornering techniques, covering one Level per day, up to and including Level 4.
With only 32 students, split into two groups, tutored by eight on-track coaches, riders benefit from a ratio of two students to one coach with six 30-minute on-track sessions each day. Filming and reviews by the school’s video coach is included in the package and students get to take a copy of the DVD home. Breakfast, lunch and refreshments are provided each day in Silverstone’s fabulous new Stowe facilities.
For £1299 (less than the cost of a full race exhaust system*) riders can experience a complete refit of their riding skills. Hire Bikes cost £249 per day. Telephone - 08700 671 061 or visit www.superbikeschool.co.uk for details.
