Performance School
This personalised sequel and racing evolution of the Bikers’ School is meant for riders who conclude a round of Francorchamps in 3 minutes or less. Also riders who already participated at the Spa-Francorchamps Experience in 2010 or 2011 and who wish to fine-tune their skills can participate. Throughout the day, the instructors correct the mistakes of all participants but they also handle the technical elements that are necessary for further evolution.
Following items are treated : concentration, motorcycle settings, the correct riding position in all circumstances, braking, engine brake, cornering speed, riding lines, a correct interpretation of the track, focussing technique, overtaking, security and even crashing.
In addition to the instructors, new didactical material (intercoms) will be used to optimize the lessons.
