The new appointments for 2021

In case you want to take part in the GSX-R Racing Academy it is necessary to access the dedicated section of the site ACADEMY and send an email. According to the calendar the scheduled dates are:

6 June – Mugello Circuit
18 June – Mugello Circuit
2 August – Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli
September with date to be defined – Mugello Circuit
17 October – Mugello Circuit

La GSX-R Racing Academy signed Suzuki is aimed at enthusiasts who, already owning a GSX-R or aspiring to own one, wish to take to the track for a first experience on the track or to refine their driving techniques, feeling safe in a controlled environment.
A maximum of eight participants are expected at each appointment, thus guaranteeing the presence of one instructor for every two students to define homogeneous pairs and encourage a direct relationship with the instructor.
Once the participants have been welcomed, the technical clothing and helmets have been put on, together with an introductory speech, the day will include theoretical sessions and five sessions on the track of twenty minutes each. The briefings concern topics such as safety, behavior and driving position on the track and correct trajectories, also focusing attention on the technological devices connected to the powerful GSX-R1000R. During the stops, a systematic analysis of the laps carried out is made; on some occasions the instructor will go down the track as a trailblazer and on others he will follow each student closely to provide him with useful information.
As reported, there is also a hospitality structure where you can relax and spend time in the company of other students.

The Suzuki GSX-R tradition

For more than 35 years, Suzuki GSX-R has represented the two-wheeled sports essence of the Hamamatsu brand and to grasp the full potential of a GSX-R it is necessary to get on the track. At the top is the GSX-R1000R, equipped with sophisticated solutions such as a frame characterized by a special slot that allows you to move the swingarm pivot in order to obtain optimal tuning and a Showa BFF fork with a lightened upper plate. We also highlight solutions such as bidirectional Quick Shift and Launch Control.
The thruster transmits 202 horses of power and the peak torque is 117,6 Nm, acting on the ride-by-wire accelerator. Also highlighted is a Motion Track TCS (Traction Control System) that can be managed on 10 levels considering an ECU control unit and the data evaluated by the inertial platform. Also associated with the ABS is a cornering function, as reported.

Figures

You can choose between a full package which includes the course and rental of the motorbike and all the necessary clothing, or is it possible participate with your own equipment and riding your GSX-R.
Presenting itself with a proprietary GSX-R (displacement from 600 cc to 1.000 cc, year from 2000 onwards), the example must be suitable for track activity, in perfect working order and equipped with sports-type tires and in perfect condition. The indicated cost is equal to 650 euros.
If you choose to rent one of the GSX-R1000Rs in the race version, prepared for use on the track, the reported cost is equal to 1.350 euros.
Anyone who has the vehicle but does not have the right technical clothing can possibly rent only the equipment at a daily cost of 180 euros, as indicated again.
