I'd be surprised if they rock up with a 999R, sounds good though.

Tim

Thats what I was thinking...Surely they wouldnt bring an "R" ???:o

Just the basic models, in case someone lobs it?:devil:

Sounds good though !:smug:

Anyone can lob an R..... dead easy! :rolleye:

After a long deliberation, ive booked the ESS at Silverstone!

Give JHP a ring, they look after the ducati press fleet.

Weeksy you might be better off starting with mini moto, its not so far to fall when you bin it:D

I might be tempted by the June 15th Day at Brands Hatch...

Probably a stupid question to most of you, but are these track days ideal for track day virgins like myself or would I be just in the way of everybody? :)

I'll second that. Perfect trackday introduction for someone new to the track. SPORTS days offer classroom theory + on-track instructors, so you should learn a lot.

Cheers for that Weeksy and Wylie1... I'm booked on the DScday at Brands on the 4th of July....so me thinks do another one with the ESS so at least I'm doing the right things trackwise and not endangering anyone else... if you see what I mean.

I just don't want to be a total arse and be in everyones way

I know I am asking a stupid question, so apologies in advance, but could somebody explain to me (in simple terms) the differences in the various courses ESS offers (e.g.: Sports Day, Pace Day, Premier School, Pace Day Special, ...). I went to their web site but I prefer your comments.

I have done track days for almost a year, and wanted to get help in correcting problems I have to work on while I still can correct them.

Suggestions/comments are welcome...

It explains it perfectly on their site..............

Have booked onto the Brands 8th August School, my first track day so will be interesting. They sounded very helpful/knowledgeable on the phone.

Deep breath........ Premier Schools are always between two and three days long and are the only product in our range that offers the structured Blue & Red courses. Yellow courses are 2:1 and can be completed on any event we run including the Premier School.

SPORTS DAYS are for want of a better description a tutored track day, they run the same format as a track day (Novice - Inters - Advanced) but include instruction on at least three predetermined sessions (four for Novice). They also include classroom sessions on rider skills, suspension, Psychology of Speed and Bike Prep + sponsor presentations, Pirelli etc. These are all things found in the Premier School, just watered down for this one day event.

Pace days are our version of a Track Day whilst Pace Special is currently a cheaper version of the ordinary PACE DAY, but is really another plan waiting to hatch!!
:eureka:

In essence you need either the Premier School a Sports Day or a Yellow course. If you need some more help or detail please give me a ring on 0870 2415159 (It is a national call rate number.
