Circuit Zolder: zelf racen met de motor - Motorsportschool Zolder

Circuit Zolder: drive yourself with a motorcycle

Want to know and push the limits of your motorbike? Then Motorsportschool Zolder is the ideal place!
You can choose from training courses in 4 different levels. Discover below in which level you feel best. In addition, we have a nice offer of "free riding" to give the sporty motorcyclist the opportunity to practice their hobby in the safest conditions.

LEVEL 1 ATTIC
Have you always dreamed of riding your motorbike on a circuit, but you don't really dare? Then the level 1 is for you!

During a full day on track, we will teach you the basics of sporty motorcycling. All this of course in the safest possible conditions.

We start in the morning with a briefing and then we get ready for the first of 5 sessions of circuit riding. These track sessions are alternated with 3 theory sessions where the emphasis is on sitting position on the bike, riding lines and braking technique.

All track sessions are always ridden under the supervision of 2 instructors per group of 10 riders. This also gives the instructors the opportunity to share some individual findings with the level 1 participants.

LEVEL 1+ ZOLDER
Even if after level 1 you can ride your bike a bit more sportily on the track, most of them don't feel quite at ease with free riding. The level 1+ is therefore THE ideal preparation for free riding. The concept is based on that of level 1, but the pace is increased.

Here too, there are 5 track sessions which are alternated with 3 theory sessions. At level 1+, the first 3 sessions are ridden WITH the instructor and the last 2 sessions WITHOUT the instructor... in other words, really free riding. The instructors will be available to all riders throughout the day.

For the level 1+ course, we assume that each participant has mastered the basic principles of circuit riding as taught during level 1.
