Based on previous events these tend to sell out pretty quick, so waiting for a weather forecast a fortnight before the event isn't a realistic option. I'll leave this post up for the next week and then start contacting those who've expressed interest.

I still think an i2i would suit you better. |

Maybe 1 2 1 coaching for you on knowing when not to use your keyboard may be more beneficial for all of us.. |

When I did my CSS level 2 it was chucking down with rain and I was watching a Pan AM go round the track... it really is an open school and matters little what you're riding. Equally the skills learnt easily transfer to aiding your confidence and control on road riding...
To answer Ursa's question, I think it's a case of grabbing one of the instructors and simply asking them to give some tuition on whatever session it is you go out on. First come first served, I didn't bother on the last Ducati track day I was riding on, but it was one of the first they ran so they may have a bit more structure around it. I'd give the CSS guys a bell in the office and ask, they've always been very helpful on the phone and I'm sure they can give you more context as to how they will be running the day...

Brilliant, that's really helpful, thanks Jim, I'll give them a call and see what they say.
I think having done the track session at WDW without even a safety briefing, I am just a little hesitant on a Ducati organised event! |

I think a safety briefing is a legal requirement at UK trackdays, all those I've attended have some sort of sticker or wristbamd to confirm you've been briefed.

It will be much more organised than an Italian track day I am sure.
There is probably an Elf and safety requirement to do the briefings. On a regular trackday, you can't go out on track unless you have attended the briefings. As Jim says, CSS are very helpful, there used to be a woman there called Lynne, if she is still about, she will sort out any concerns you have, I am sure

for the Ducati UK day you get a good portion of the instruction, but not all of it and there'll be a very wide range of skills, where as at a CSS day it's much more of a level playing field.

I, for one, can't wait to welcome our new Ducatisti members (and claim our trackday discount)
On a discount side note, does that include bike hire too?

I'd hazard a guess not... but I'll check ;-)
