So the idea is we book via a dealer with no final price known?

is this a new blank cheque pricing model DUK are trying out

I think it goes a bit like this Ray, 'If you can afford a Duke, you can afford the weekend'.

Anyone know when we're likely to get more details?

As soon as we get anything, it will get posted up.

Ducati UK are keeping us informed, so we'll know as soon as they make an announcement.

Ducati Coventry have the price for the weekend as £499 on their website.

That'll keep the riff raff with old bikes like me away

I have just had a quick read of the blurb on jhp site.....

"Held over a Saturday and Sunday, day one offers classroom and on track tuition on the National and Southern Circuits in preparation for day two on the full MotoGP circuit."

so a bit like CSS on day one, but no more details other than pit lane support from the jhp crew.

I should imagine there are cheaper packages out there, time will tell.

Info on the event is slow coming through though, I would be tempted to do one day on track but it seems like DUK are keeping it underwraps so much I will have to buy a brand new multipoodle to get a chance on track..........

Also from reading the JHP site I'm wonderig if at all you will be allowed to only book day two

Very strange as DUK havent released any price for it yet, that I know for sure!!

As tickets need to be purchased through dealers maybe some dealers are putting their own price on, it says JHP will have help in pit lane maybe thats for their customers who book through them so they put a price on the ticket that includes that help.... i cant see DUK overpricing the event to the tune of £500 quid a ticket you can nearly get 3 silverstone track days for that price

or 5, count them, 5 days at Cadwell with FREE instruction, suspension set up, photos, video, tyres and a relaxed friendly atmosphere - you could use your DSC discount for fuel, food, booze or an evening session. Or you could go to Le Mans or Magny Cours for a couple of days - know what I would do.

I appreciate Silverstone with knobs on is a pull for some people (not that fond of the track myself, much prefer many others), but 500 notes??? You could do 2 or 3 days on track with sole one to one instruction from a top instructor all day all sessions tailored to your specific needs and desires with 'classroom' sessions inbetween (one to one) and if you want, video coverage all day.

Ducati dealerships have glass doors so they can see you coming!
