California Super-bike School

Just booked to do level 3 with California super-bike school at rockingham 3may.
Andy Ibbots the main dude there and very good at what he does.It's a bit pricey at ?300 but you do get 1 instructor between 2 all day. Loads of track and class room time.
It's a long day 7am -6pm
I've done levels 1-2 in the last few years at mondello in Irland,and Cadwell last year I learnt a lot and really enjoyed it.
Is there anyone else on here going with them next year.
What's Rockingham track like.

Good luck mate but which circuit at Rockingham?

I just got back from a 4-day Track Event at Cartagena, Spain.
The track was easily the most technical and physcially demanding I've ridden to date. No rest up anywhere on track :B .
They ran an open pit (come and go as ya want) in the afternoons which was simply fantastic, however there were some seriously quick & commited geeza's out there including a GP 250 rider and the Spanish National R1 Cup Champion, not to mention quite a few Derby Phoenix & BEMSEE racers.
I managed to blag some instruction off the Spanish fella, and reduced my lap times by 15 seconds :eek: (so how shit am I?! :rolleyes: )
I'm gonna do the European Superbike School next April at the same venue, but I think I'll be doing fewer UK track days and saving my dosh for the European events.....much more fun despite the steep learning curve :blush:

Yep, that's the best circuit geeza :yo:You'll enjoy it.
This is me at Cartagena just a few days ago. The apex on this right hander required you to have ya knee and head over the edge of the track which meant that occasionaly things got a little tight %$fan You then had to pick the bike up asap, gas it, whilst retaining ya cornering body position as another right followed almost immediately :rolleyes: Fun though :-:
