We also offer racing motorcycle rental and technical support on the track<\/em><em>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Track Day is the most exciting, fun and effective way to improve your driving skills! You will learn how to turn and brake with much more confidence and control.<\/p>\n<p>They are carried out on a closed route (<a href=\"https:\/\/serrescircuit.gr\/about-us\/track\/activities\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><em><strong>Serres circuit<\/strong><\/em><\/a>), which means you learn in a safe environment and at real speeds. Learning on a track allows you to drive freely, concentrate and improve your skill level without the typical dangers you face on the road... potholes, sand and bumps.<\/p>\n<h2>Learn to drive better<\/h2>\n<p>While parking lessons have their place, riding your bike on a track will allow you to practice your driving skills at real speeds - without the usual distractions of public roads (<em>such as cars, gravel on the road, police officers, etc.<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p>Track Day is usually a three-day event that includes lessons and demonstrations of advanced driving techniques that you can then try out on the track. Contact us for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spmotorsports.gr\/en\/our-services\/#rent\"><em><strong>racing motorcycle rental<\/strong><\/em><\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spmotorsports.gr\/en\/our-services\/#technicalsupport\"><em><strong>technical support on the track<\/strong><\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The fact that you will go through each corner of the track several times a day will allow you to perfect your technique without the variables that change on the road. These techniques that you will gain can be transferred to everyday driving on the road.<\/p>\n<h3>The skills that are usually learned are:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Perception techniques<\/li>\n<li>Braking Techniques<\/li>\n<li>Shifting timing and techniques<\/li>\n<li>Corner accuracy<\/li>\n<li>Angle line selection<\/li>\n<li>Body positioning<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Race Vs Track Day<\/h2>\n<p>Track Day is NOT a race. Many drivers respond to an offer to attend a Track Day by saying \"<em>Yes, but I don't want to fight<\/em>\". I understand that most people automatically think \"<em>racing<\/em>\" when they hear \"<em>track<\/em>&#8220;.<\/p>\n<p>This is the reason for today's article. My purpose is to let you know that all drivers need on-track training to become better and more careful riders.<\/p>\n<h2>If it's not a race, then what is it?<\/h2>\n<p>Imagine the perfect road, but with no traffic... and oncoming traffic, sand, gravel, guardrails or people in big jeeps trying to adjust their GPS while talking and texting on their phones. Now, I think you understand what track day is all about. And I didn't mention any speed limit!<\/p>\n<p>So is driving on a track... not only is it a safer place to drive, but you can also go as fast as you want without the risk of being written up for speeding.<\/p>\n<p>Not only is the three-day track day fun, but it's also a great place to develop your skills. Most track days offer some instruction, with time for a tutorial on proper body positioning. You can also do on-track training and practice what you've learned on the track.<\/p>\n<p>The beauty of driving on a track is that you visit each corner several times, so you can perfect each call as the day goes on. You also get to explore the limits of your bike, tyres and capabilities and this is where you need our assistance for technical support for racers and non racers alike, at any track in Greece and Europe.<\/p>\n<h2>It's not about speed!<\/h2>\n<p>Yes, we're talking about riding on a track, but that doesn't mean you have to have the fastest bike or even that you have to go much faster than you already do on the road (<em>in the beginners' groups<\/em>). That's the beauty of a track day as opposed to a competitive racing environment.<\/p>\n<p>Track day and racing have two completely different purposes. Both track day and racing allow you to go as fast as you dare, but track day allows you to go as fast as you want without the pressure of winning a competition. When you race, you take a lot more risk because your goal is to try to beat your teammate.<\/p>\n<h2>What is the aim of Track Day?<\/h2>\n<p>So, what exactly is the point of having a track day then? It's a safer place to have fun! No surface hazards or obstacles on the road. There's always an ambulance just seconds away, the track is the safest place to drive, especially if you want to drive fast or try after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spmotorsports.gr\/en\/our-services\/#service\"><em><strong>motorcycle service<\/strong><\/em><\/a> its potential.<\/p>\n<p>Also, it is to safest place to learn! You'll be able to focus on perfecting cornering and braking skills by driving the same turns over and over again.<\/p>\n<p>You meet people with common interests! You socialise with like-minded motorcyclists. Most new track riders show up for their first day nervous and scared, only to find a friendly group of fellow riders willing to help you learn the ropes.<\/p>\n<p>At Sp Motorsports you will find motorcycle accessories for every model, as well as motorcycle parts such as lubricants, tires and filters for the proper operation of the motorcycle.
