Description

TVAM circuit skills days at Castle Combe are ideal for all levels of experience from cautious riders and circuit novices through to more experienced riders who’ve done circuit-based days before. This is the ideal opportunity to improve your riding skills in a safe and controlled environment, in the company of like-minded TVAM members. The day provides the opportunity to explore the acceleration, braking, leaning and steering capabilities of your motorcycle. At Castle Combe we provide our own Circuit Guides available for one to one assistance within the Novice groups, as well as an on-site Instructor for tuition in the Intermediate and Experienced groups.  In addition, we will set up a small course in the car park area where riders can practice positive steering and braking exercises. (Subject to availability on the day)

Think of the day as an observed ride on a smooth surface with elevation changes, slow corners, fast corners and technical corners that are tough to master. With the opportunity to experience each corner around 60 times during the day you will have lots of time to improve your skills. Because we restrict the numbers, we get lots more time on the track too.

Each 15-minute session is limited to 12 riders on the track, plus Circuit Guides, so there is plenty of space to work on improving confidence and skill levels without feeling crowded or intimidated.  As it’s a TVAM-exclusive event, the whole day is very relaxed with no pressure to over perform. Each group will have 7 sessions on track during the day.

There is a restaurant on site where breakfast is served to set you up for the day. Hot meals, sandwiches, crisps, chocolate bars, tea, coffee, cold drinks etc are available during the day. (Fee payable)

A TVAM-exclusive circuit-based skills day at Castle Combe is the ideal way to extend your understanding of your bike in a safe and controlled environment.  And as it’s exclusive to TVAM there’s no pressure or intimidation – it’s just have fun with your mates!

Track Day Groups

There will be 4 groups based on experience:

  • Novice 1 (No circuit experience, cautious rider)
  • Novice 2 (Limited or no circuit experience, more confident rider)
  • Intermediate (Reasonable circuit experience)
  • Experienced (Multiple circuit experiences)

The Important Small Print...

The important small print:

  • Only fully road legal bikes are allowed. So no ‘track’ bikes etc.
  • Racing and Lap Timing is strictly prohibited.
  • There are strict noise limits here. Your bike will need to pass the 105db static test at three quarters of your pre red line rev range @ 0.5mtr-45deg. (If you are in any doubt Castle Combe are willing to pre-test your bike for you at any time when they are open). Alternatively we have a sound meter and can carry out  tests at St. Crispin’s by arrangement. (Guidance only)
  • One or two piece leathers are required in the Experienced and Intermediate groups but zip together Textiles with CE armour can be worn in the Novice 1 and Novice 2 groups.
