The Master Racing Course was designed for very expert riders who would like to get ready for competitive track racing. In order to participate in the Master Course, you must have already taken at least one DRE track course: we advise against signing up for the course unless you have ridden on the track at least 10 times. The training is aimed at building on existing track skills. To participate in this course it is necessary to have a driving licence without limitations of engine displacement.

WHERE: Mugello, Misano, Magny Cours and Pannoniaring racetracks. The course is held entirely on the track.

WHEN: The one-day course lasts from 8 am to 6 pm.

HOW: The course uses the new Ducati 1098 S models and is designed for a maximum of 18 participants. Each group will be made up of a maximum of just 3 riders, so that participants will have personal attention from their instructors. (if necessary DRE staff will adjust the groups after the first on-track session).The groups are put together by the organizers who also select and assign the group instructors; participants' requests to be assigned to specific groups or instructors will not be accepted.

INCLUDED: Lunch, open cafe, welcome kit, on-site photographer, and special arrangements with hotel facilities.

TESTED BY COMPUTER: During the course each rider will have the opportunity to ride a 1098 S equipped with a data acquisition system which will record information from the bike regarding the rider's performance. Data recorded will include: throttle opening, RPM, vehicle speed, lap times, suspension travel, brake pressure, tyre temperatures and lateral and longtitudinal G-forces. At the end of the course, each student will receive a copy of their own data. For more information click here.
