Ducati UK will host two track days on the full circuits of both Silverstone and Donington this summer. The track events will be conducted with the assistance of California Superbike School, who will be there to provide expertise and guidance as well as monitor track activity.

The first track day on May 26 will take place at the world famous Donington Park Circuit, scene of Ducati's first ever World Superbike win. Special guests of the day will be Ducati Team Superbike riders, Chaz Davies and Davide Giugliano along with Ducati Corse's Superbike Technical Director, Ernesto Marinelli. Participants at Donington will have the chance to meet the riders and talk to Ernesto Marinelli, gaining a real insight from those at the heart of the Ducati Panigale World Superbike programme.

Both the Donington (May 26) and Silverstone (July 28) track days will be ‘noisy' (105db) days and will take place on the full GP circuits priced at £175. Breakfast and lunch is included in the price at Donington and at Silverstone.

A unique feature of Ducati track days will be the chance to hire a Ducati to ride on track. If you don't want to take your own pride and joy on track or would like to test ride a Ducati in a controlled environment then there is an opportunity to hire the new Monster 1200 S, the acclaimed 899 Panigale or the new 1299 Panigale. These are available to book when booking your place, but book early as places and hire bikes sold out last year!

The acclaimed 899 Panigale delivers the 148hp from the superquadro engine with incredible lightness and agility and features Ducati Traction Control (DTC) riding modes and Ducati Quick Shift (DQS) and can be hired for the day for £275.*

The recently launched 1299 Panigale is also available to hire, the acclaimed 1299 Panigale oozes personality and performance with a 205hp from its 1285cc superquadro engine. Also featuring Inertial measurement unit (IMU), DTC, Cornering ABS, DQS (up/down) and riding modes the 1299 Panigale will be available to hire for £355 for the day.*
