Race track training with the MOTORRAD action team
I want fun, I accelerate! If you want to experience what your bike can really do in core Europe, you can’t avoid a detour to the racetrack. In contrast to the past, there are now a large number of routes across Europe and a large selection of training courses, both for advanced and – very importantly – for beginners. The right framework is essential for them, because if you find yourself as a sporty driver without racetrack experience in a pack of ambitious racers, you have no good cards. The extensive MOTORRAD action team training program, for example, offers a four-stage orientation compass which training is suitable for whom.

Every racetrack has its own charm
Not all tracks have the five-star level of a Red Bull Ring or are a mega-construction like in Aragón, but every racetrack has its own charm. The Czech must, for example, is located in the middle of a former open-cast mining region, but is very easy to reach and inexpensive from Germany. Most grounds the spoiled racer in every way, but at lunchtime the restaurant has the freshest dumplings you can imagine, and the track is really fun. And if the guard rails are a little closer in Rijeka, then you have to be particularly careful at these points and ideally drive the first laps behind an instructor.
It’s the smartest thing to do on an unknown racetrack anyway. In France, sanitary hygiene is known to be a sensitive issue. We have not avoided the precarious matter, but looked a little deeper into the area of tiles and bowls. With different results. Incidentally, you should always take a few additional locks with you to the south of France. Traditionally, people like to steal from there.
Slopes favored in Spain in winter
In winter, the inclined biker is often drawn to Spain, where almost the entire German racing elite also stays for testing. In mostly fantastic weather conditions, you can forget the hardships of the long journey. In Spain there will soon be another game zone with the new Circuito Andalucia. It is right next to the Circuito de Almeria. The two are only separated by the paddock. This is an absolute novelty. There are still no races on the new race track, but the German training provider Bike Promotion, for which the Almeria course is the home and farm track, is already engaged.
Other well-known providers are Hafeneger racing training, Art-Motor, Rehm Race Days, Speer-Racing, Doc-Scholl driver training, The Race Academy and of course our MOTORRAD action team! And the right program is guaranteed for everyone: rookie school, curve school, sports training, perfection training, racing. On the racetracks that go with it. Regarding the distance information: We have chosen Berlin as a reference point. The capital, what else.
