This just looks like an expensive track day

This just popped up on my twitter feed so I thought I would have a look:-

£195 to do Mallory on your own bike with 1 instructor for every 10 riders

For £350 you get one on one and use their bikes and leathers with the Ron Haslam school. I think you get less track time though.

From what I've read about the whitham day, it's a lot better than the Haslam day. Haslam is a bit like CSS in that it is regimented, Whitham tailors it to you. If you're of a higher level you get more advanced skills teaching

But how are they going to do that if it's 10 riders per instructor?

Essentially the instructor will follow each person round for a couple of laps.
All in for debrief.
Back out on track to work on what you've been taught.
Debrief.. etc. etc. etc.

FWIW the people I've spoken to who have done it said it's often 2 instructors per 10

Know people That have been on it and they described it as a track day with not so many people on it. They really enjoyed it and said they would book again.
"80mph" sorry officer I possibly could not have done that I'm no Valentino Rossi.
