An absolutely must-have guide for every trackday enthusiast, especially the less experienced ones. For many, trackdays are the ultimate fun you can have on two wheels. But how do you get started, and what should you expect when you get out on the track? How do you improve your skills, recognise what is, and more importantly, what isn’t safe? This book takes the rider through all the essential riding skills -- cornering, braking, positioning, counter-steering -- needed on the track and on the road, as well as the cool, but not exactly Road Traffic Act approved ones like getting your knee down. It also gives a complete, corner by corner, guide to all the commonly used circuits in the UK, and many trackday companies.
