Slick Moto complete their European first track event with their Panigale demonstrator bikes

Slick Moto have recently been touring Ducati stores in the UK to promote their premium, European track day offering, which for 2026 includes demo rides on the new Panigale V4 S and Panigale V2 S.

We caught up with Lee Ewbank at a recent evening event held at Ducati Hailsham, to find out how the new collaboration between Slick Moto and Ducati has gone following their first event of the season.

“We recently completed a four-day event at Andalucia Circuit, our first event of the year. It marked the first time where in addition to delivering clients’ bikes and riding gear to a circuit, that we also had our Ducati Panigale V4 S and a V2 S demonstrator bikes for clients to try out on track.

At Andalucia, a couple of riders rode the Panigale V2 S, and three took the V4 S out on track. All riders did multiple 20-minute sessions and were getting on average between ten and twelve laps in per session. The V4 S really impressed, and two of the riders that took the V4S have since reached out to their local Ducati stores to make a purchase. 

One of them owned a new Fireblade. But you could see he was a bit nervous before the demo ride on a brand-new Panigale, in really windy conditions. But 20 minutes later he came back in, and flipped the lid up saying, ‘this bike is unbelievable”. As the owner of Panigale V4 myself, it’s that experience we want to share!

For our clients that want to try either Ducati, they get sessions at whichever event they book on. They don't have to do anything with the bikes. We make sure they’re fuelled, the tyre pressures are correct, and we’ll take the warmers off, take it the bikes off the stands before wheeling them out into pit lane ready to roll. 

Andalucia was a good track to test out the demonstrator bikes with our clients and help us sort a few things out for the season ahead. It was a bit of a shakedown in a few ways, and our next event at Portimão at the end of the month will be our first proper VIP event of 2026.

We really enjoy looking after clients at the premium European circuits like Mugello, but Portimão is always great, and we’re going there straight after World Superbikes.

Following that we head off for a three-day track event at the iconic MotorLand Aragón circuit. We still have a few limited places available for that, so if you fancy riding your Ducati at that circuit, or testing out a new Panigale there, then get in touch Best of all? I’ll be riding my Panigale at both events, I can’t wait.”
