This is what awaits you
Fly in and ride
Simply arrive and join the racetrack training sessions. Our partner will provide you with the latest BMW S 1000 RR and all the riding equipment. Mechatronics technicians take care of petrol, tyres and everything else so you can get on the bike straight away. Optional upgrades to slick tyres and tyre warmers available. Do you want to ride your own motorcycle? Not a problem.
World-champion experience
A training programme has been developed in collaboration with two-time Superbike world champion Troy Corser that is perfect for both beginners and advanced riders. Thanks to this programme, you can experience newly acquired technique for yourself.
Absolute high-end equipment
A BMW S 1000 RR with Metzeler Racetec RR K3 can be rented on site. Our partner also offers an upgrade to an SBK package: including pit box, paddock stand and tyre warmers. You can also upgrade to Metzeler Racetec RR Slick Compounds for even more grip.
Analysis of your training progress
All your training progress is precisely documented to guarantee the best possible improvement. First, with video analysis – a tool that helps participants improve enormously. Plus, participants’ riding level is recorded in a logbook, so you can continue exactly where you left off during the last training session.
Training process
Clearly structured daily schedules combine theory and practice. After each theory session, participants go out onto the track to put the discussed technique into practice. A personal debrief with video analysis follows. These sessions are used to analyse and discuss the current results and goals before going back on the track.
If conditions permit, each day consists of at least five track sessions and four theory sessions. In a three-day course, this systematic approach gives you hundreds of kilometres of circuit experience and a great deal of progress.
Groups
All courses feature personal support. One instructor is responsible for three participants of approximately the same riding level, and this instructor accompanies the group throughout the training days.
One-on-one training sessions are also available to provide maximum support. In this case, participants will be assigned their own instructor, who is ideally suited in terms of skills and experience (on request).

The training course is organised by our partner Racing School Europe. The FUEL FOR LIFE partner independently organises the experience and offers it to participants on their own behalf. All information about this offer, including details on prices, has been provided by the FUEL FOR LIFE partner.
Courses are held in English. Some of the instructors also speak German, French, Dutch, Polish, Swiss German, Italian and Spanish.
It goes without saying that anyone who prefers to ride their own motorcycle rather than a rented BMW S 1000 RR can do so. Our partner can, if necessary, also take care of transporting the motorcycle. This is only offered for the Netherlands and Germany. If you plan to take part with your own motorcycle, please provide this information when initially contacting our partner.
Racing School Europe is a partner of BMW Motorrad. Regardless of this, you also have the option of riding a motorbike from another brand. In any case, the participants have the opportunity to take part in a free test session on the latest BMW S 1000 RR.
Training and instructions are provided by an experienced instructor for a maximum of three participants per group. Each participant can rely on their own coach for debriefings and analyses throughout the course.
Our partner will also offer optional, individual support as part of one-on-one sessions. Here the partner will make sure to find a trainer specially tailored to your rider level. They will determine this together with you in advance.
The BMW S 1000 RR has a rain mode setting. In wet conditions, Racing School Europe can easily provide you with their RR fleet with rain tyres. Consequently, they are not dependent on the weather. This service, like Metzeler rain tyres, is included in their motorcycle rental.
Our partner works with professional photographers at their events. They take photos and videos of your training. You will receive information on the corresponding photographer and the process on site.
Operating partner

Most of them are former racers with experience in various European championships such as the French, Belgian, German or Dutch Superbike Championship, GP 125 or Endurance Championships.
