[advrider]

Ducati UK has announced that it is partnering with the famed racing circuit Silverstone. As part of the deal, the Italian manufacturer is making 20 Ducati Panigale V4 motorcycles available to the facility for track day use. However, only Silverstone’s instructors will have the opportunity to ride the new machines.

According to a Ducati press release:

“The instructors will use the bikes for sighting laps, track guidance and 1-1 tuition. Track day customers will be able to see the Panigale V4 demonstrating its capabilities at first hand in its natural environment on Britain’s only MotoGP circuit.”

Ducati says that the new partnership will be part of the “Ducati Riding Experience Race Track Academy.” The school will offer expert Ducati instruction for persons who “want to enjoy the thrill of the track.” Unfortunately, few details about the new Silverstone-based academy are available. However, Ducati did say that more information and dates “…will be announced in due course.”
