THE DIFFERENT CLASSES
€149: DAINESE SAFETY CLASS 1
Half a day of riding aimed at people who have literally no experience on two wheels, the Safety Class 1 is for anyone over 14, and teaches how to ride a bike, use gears, and then take on some technical slaloms in the paddock. Bike and kit rental is supplied free of charge, alongside lunch, and photography!
€299: DAINESE SAFETY CLASS 2
Recommended with those with a little bit of riding experience, the Safety Class 2 is a step up from number one, being a full day for riders on their own machines who have just little experience and want to take things to the next level. It consists of six practical sessions, alongside theoretical sessions and exercises to sharpen skills. Free photography and lunch is included.
€499: DAINESE RACING CLASS 1
Unlike the Safety Classes, the Racing Class takes the rider on the actual track, with the Racing Class 1 being aimed at those who are experienced on a bike, but have never been on track, or have very little track experience. This consists of five classroom sessions followed by five 20-minute track sessions on your own bike, including feedback from an instructor via video. It’s one instructor to four pupils, and also includes lunch and photography.
€699: DAINESE RACING CLASS 2
The second Racing Class is for those with a bit more track experience, with the same layout as above but with a more in-depth, precise and technical twist. Riders here must lap the circuit within a certain time to qualify.
€1,299: DAINESE CHAMPIONS CLASS
The Champions Class is for those who want something that little more exclusive. Starting with a 45-minute theory lesson, there’s then five 20-minute track sessions on your own bike and five theoretical sessions, which is backed up by video taken during the session. There’s groups of three to four riders per instructor based on skill, and the instructors will each be of World Championship level.
€10,500: VR46 CLASS
The ultimate course on offer. With just four spots available, each one was auctioned off, with all proceeds going to the Marco Simoncelli Foundation. Using prepped R1s on warmers and full AGV/ Dainese gear, the afternoon consists of an introductory theoretical session, followed by two 20-minute track sessions and two classroom lessons from Rossi himself. Full photography and video are provided, and you’re even based in a factory spec exclusive Dainese pit box.
