Ron Haslam race school celebrates 21st anniversary

The Honda Ron Haslam Race School is celebrating 21 years in the business – having trained an astounding 80,000 people – and this year there’s a lot to shout about with the school taking delivery of the all-new Fireblade SP.

The school says: “We offer expert tuition with experienced instructors at Donington Park. Our aim is to give you an enjoyable and memorable time. We know that you will leave us having improved your skills and have better knowledge of these magnificent machines and circuit. Together with Honda we have designed a programme to suit all needs from the introductory through to a more advanced level, catering for all ages and abilities.”

The new Blade SP is designed for one thing: performance, taking the total control philosophy and re-engineering it for the track. To get the experience of riding these machines book yourself onto the school’s Elite Course.

This unique package gives you an intensive, bespoke one-to-one instruction on and off the track. The school provide all the equipment from the bike itself to helmet, leathers, gloves, boots and back protector (all if required) –all you need do is turn up! As the Elite course is run with one-to-one instruction your time both on and off the circuit is flexible but typically includes a minimum of 60 minutes to a max of 90 minutes on circuit with your instructor. Briefing and debriefing is done with your instructor between sessions.

Using their monitoring of your performance on track and some data-logging your instructor will analyse your riding technique and track precision in detail to make you a better, more consistent, safer and faster rider.

The course ends with a final debrief where you receive comments from your instructor relating to your performance and in what ways you have improved during the sessions.

Please note: Before booking an Elite course you must be 18 or over and have successfully completed the Premier Course within the last three years. The Elite Course costs £449.

The school have also announced a new sponsorship with Dunlop. A spokesman said: “With their technology, innovation and performance Dunlop always stand at the forefront of tyre tech, because they never stop looking for new ways to bring riders that thrilling sense of control.”
