    Anyone done this? How was the experience?

    It's a great day, and as Martin says we will be doing it again this year.

    Really boosted my confidence on the bike.

    Hi mate,

    Did the premier and elite when they were at silverstone, got held up in the premier as the guy I was paired with was pretty slow (not that I'm a Marquez) even the instructor commented but he did his best to accomodate, but still enjoyed it.

    Elite was just another level awesome day, loads more track time and an analysis after each session, throttle, brake, gear etc

    If you like the premier you'll love the elite!

    You could do the elite on the 16th July Bob, there will be a good few of us riding down from Aberdeen for the Premier.

    What a amazing day i did mine about 6 or 7 years ago at Donnington, the weather was spot on but what made it so special was it was my first time on a track.

    I remember the feeling of such a open space, no trees, cars, pot holes and all the other stuff that hinders road riding but the best thing that came out of it was it took away my craving to see how far i could push the limit on the road.

    Getting my fix on the track made me a safer road rider
