Rider Groups

We try to provide a controlled environment that allows you to ride as fast as you want (in keeping with the paragraph above) and explore the performance of your motorcycle without the hassles and dangers of the street. To accommodate different riding levels, participants can select between two different riding levels/groups:

Advanced Group | A

This group is typically made up of licensed road racers and fast and experienced trackday riders. If you question whether you are fast enough for Group A, sign up for Group B and we will move you up to A after the first session or two if we feel you are ready. The number of riders permitted to sign up for each group is dependent on the track being run. Check the details for the event you are interested in attending for the max capacity.

Intermediate | B

This group is typically made up of individuals wishing to improve upon their riding skills at a more comfortable pace. Your first session will start with some Lead/Follow siting laps led by Apex instructors to help you become familiar with the track. The number of riders permitted to sign up for each group is dependent on the track being run. Check the details for the event you are interested in attending for the max capacity.

Beginner | C

This group is typically made up of individuals new to the trackday experience, and people wishing to improve upon their riding skills at a more comfortable pace. Your first session will start with some Lead/Follow siting laps led by Apex instructors to help you become familiar with the track. The number of riders permitted to sign up for each group is dependent on the track being run. Check the details for the event you are interested in attending for the max capacity.

If this is your first trackday ever at any track, you are required to attend the First Trackday Orientation (FTO), and to ride initially in the C or B Group. This is not a riding school, but a track orientation class designed to acquaint you with the peculiarities of trackday riding. The first class session is held during the A Group's first track session (9 a.m.), so you don't miss a minute of track time. At 9:30 the School hits the track with the your Group. The second and final class session is held during the A Group's second track session (10 a.m.). You are then free to ride the rest of the day. If at that point you wish to ride in the A Group we will evaluate your skills during a your session and see if that is possible.
