MUGELLO TRACK DAYS - Info & group days
- Thread starter Vbreeze
- Start date
Been actually trying to find info online, last night actually! Should have checked here haha, going to visit Italy this Fall, but not going to ship my bike of course. I think I'd rather ride Mugello > Misano, more scenic and iconic imo, but the biggest thing is where could I rent a bike or is there a trackday organization that can arrange? I don't really the need the "coaching/training" that usually comes with the trackday bike packages, but might just have to sign up for a day. Any info is much appreciated.
And..... after actually reading the original post, would love to do something in September for my bday w/ Promo Racing, especially if they can supply a panigale.

A chance of my kid studying in Europe next year so keeping an eye on this thread as well....it would be rude of me to visit and not go to at least one track. Portugal is one of her options and Portiamo would be an incredible experience.

Now you're talking. Let me know when you show up. I've got to get over there. I lived in Portugal one year and was working on a start up so much I never went to the track. It was really damn nice. Really weird, but nice. Algarve, where the Portimão track is, dreamy. Beaches, cliff diving. Crystal clear baby blue warm Atlantic water. Dang nice spot. I rented street bikes there. Walking in from the street and out with a bike in about 15mins. 1 page contract. I hope it's still like that.

I heard from Promo Racing, they've signed up those days I posted. I wanted to contact them actually. I don't know more than that at the moment. Are you part of that group?
The Ducati clubs here are large and really active quite. Florence DOC has a few events during the year with other DOCs. Super friendly guys. You won't go away hungry I can tell you that.

Ah ok. there's a difference between Ducati uk (the uk part of the factory who do run a couple of Ducati days in the uk) and the Ducati clubs in the uk like DOC Ducati owners club and so on. Interesting if it is them as track time at Mugello seems a bit out of their comfort zone.. I wonder who it is/

Actually, I know MacLeod a little from SF. He seems to put on a good experience. Last time they were at Mugello, they went with these RSE who rents bikes:
Adding BIKES TO RENT at Track
Racing School Europe, there you can also rent motorcycles, but only BMWs.
RSE - Racing School Europe RSE - with Troy Corser (racing-school-europe.com)
RSE - Racing School Europe RSE - Powered by BMW Motorrad

Speer Racing, a German track day organizer also uses them. They're going to Misano and Mugello. Not sure dates at Mugello yet.
Tracks and Trainings
These guys rent Suzuki at Mugello, Misano, other tracks and even do street. They work with PromoRcing frequently. They've got a sizable hospitality tent and all the track side assistance you could want.

Rad. Thanks for gathering that info.
Myself and 3 of my buddies (so far) have signed up for the late October Portimao Leod Track and Tour.
I’m so damn stoked.

I hope you've got Portuguese guides, that's all I'm saying. Except I'll include, GooglMaps goes into fail mode often there. More than once, at night, it would take me off a cliff where a bridge used to be, or where maybe, there should be a bridge but isn't one. On the maps, looks like you should just drive through the air over to the next mountain.
This is the digital wild west / far east, whatever. Don't just trust google maps. I'm sure they've got it sorted.
This happened 50 times when I was there:
"This looks good, let's head that way up the mountain. 15 mins later...Wow it's gone into Roman cobblestone mode (was actually, Roman)...
10 mins later... hu. Upps. the road is not a road any more."
Also expect to eat at least 170,000 calorie meals ("Francesinha" is like, 8 kinds of meat and 4 kinds of melted cheese with an egg on top sandwitch) and understand exactly 0 of what straight faced locals are talking about. Portugal is a trip and a half.
Gorgeous, super weird, very historic, trippy trippy trippy. Hope you stop in Sintra. Stunning town down by Lisboa. The big money is there. There are 2 sizable white smoke stacks mid hillside. Story has it, they used to burn human sacrifices there. Not everyone was christian all the time.
Fun facts: they skipped WWI & WWII. They just said, no thanks.
Recently added bonus, if you move there & bring a starup there, you can get 10 years of 10% max taxes.
In June you can drive up the coast and see a string of village's annual ancient pageants. They play music on weird instruments, dance in the streets, cover the roads with flower peddle paintings, dress in massive costumes, eat like there's no tomorrow. Each village has its own thing. Endless trippy color and culture.
The coast is like or better in the south near Portimão.
