October will be a good month for motorcycle riders in the region with Bike Track Days at Dubai Autodrome set to resume on Saturday October 13.

Following a break for the summer holiday season, the popular track days and evenings for motorcycles are once again open for bookings.

Dates have been announced for October through to December.

Bike Track Days at Dubai Autodrome allow motorcycle owners to access and enjoy a variety of race circuit configurations in a safe and controlled environment.

Safety cover on the track is run to strict international standards, with marshal posts, safety trucks, ambulance and paramedic services on site for each event.

Any standard roadworthy or track motorcycle bike may participate and all levels of riders are welcome, although novice riders are required to first participate in a special Novice Bike Track Evening session to get familiar with track protocol.

One piece or two piece zipped together leathers, helmet, boots and gloves are mandatory. A back protector is recommended.

Prices start at AED420 per rider (including VAT), depending on circuit configuration.

For new riders the Dubai Autodrome provides some helpful driving tips for better track day riding – things that will help you enjoy the day:

Tip 1: It’s easy to be drawn into ‘turning in’ too early. You’ll apex sooner than ideal and worst case run out of circuit on the exit. Try and turn in and apex later.

Tip 2: Try and pick out breaking and apex points on circuit. By looking at the point you want to apex at you’ll magically get closer to it.

Tip 3: Take your time and don’t be in too much of a hurry. You may find it will initially take a few laps before you are confident and know your way around the circuit.

Tip 4: Don’t get drawn into racing someone faster than you.

Tip 5: Remember to smile.
