Rider Training – Level 1

Beginner Rider Training at Red Star Raceway

Beginner Rider Training – Level 1 at Red Star Raceway is the ideal starting point for new or returning riders who want expert guidance in a safe, controlled environment. Led by experienced instructors, the course focuses on confidence-building fundamentals before riders ever share the circuit with faster, more experienced riders.

Throughout the day, riders will combine short classroom briefings with practical on-bike sessions designed to build skills progressively and safely.

Session 1 – Rider Foundations

The day begins with a short introduction and briefing where riders are introduced to the fundamentals of safe motorcycle riding.

Riders will learn the importance of correct riding posture, understanding the motorcycle controls, and building the confidence required to begin developing riding skills in a controlled environment.

Session 2 – Throttle, Clutch and Bike Control

This session focuses on developing smooth control of the motorcycle using the throttle and clutch.

Smooth throttle control
Clutch control and coordination
Controlled starts and stops
Developing low-speed balance

Riders will begin to feel comfortable with the motorcycle and understand how smooth control improves stability and confidence.

Session 3 – Braking and Steering

Riders will learn how to apply braking safely and effectively while maintaining balance and control of the motorcycle.

Progressive braking techniques
Front and rear brake coordination
Steering control and direction changes
Maintaining balance at low speeds

Session 4 – Observation and Roadcraft

Foundational roadcraft principles are introduced to help riders develop safe habits from the very beginning.

Observation and awareness
Space management
Hazard awareness
Developing safe riding habits

These essential principles are integrated into each exercise throughout the day.

Session 5 – Practice and Skill Development

Riders will use the final session to practice and combine all the techniques learned during the training day.

Training takes place in dedicated practice areas at Red Star Raceway, allowing riders to focus on skill development without the pressure of traffic or faster riders.

Group sizes are intentionally kept small so each rider receives clear demonstrations, individual feedback, and plenty of time to practice.

If riders do not yet have full riding gear, approved helmets, gloves, jackets, and boots can be arranged on request. Training motorcycles are also available for beginners who do not have their own bike.

By the end of Level 1, riders will have developed the core skills and confidence needed to continue their riding journey safely, either progressing to Rider Training – Level 2 or enjoying their own motorcycle with a stronger foundation in technique and risk management.

Rider Training – Level 2

First Time Out on Circuit

YOU NEED TO BRING YOUR OWN BIKE FOR THIS TRAINING COURSE. This programme is designed for riders who are ready to take their first steps onto the circuit. The focus of Level 2 training is on building confidence, improving bike control, and developing the essential skills required for safe and effective riding on track.

Riders must bring their own motorcycle. However, rental of the SAMRA 250s may be arranged for those who do not have a suitable bike available.

Throughout the day, riders will progress through a series of guided sessions, each focusing on a key aspect of riding technique and track awareness.

Session 1 – Learning the Circuit (“Look Through”)

The first session focuses on learning the circuit and understanding the importance of vision while riding.

A key principle riders will learn is “where you look is where you go.” Riders will practice looking through corners and focusing on the exit point rather than looking down at the bike or the front wheel.

It is normal to feel nervous when riding on track for the first time. Riders will be encouraged to approach corners calmly, slow down before entering the turn, take a breath, and turn their head to look through the corner toward the exit.

Session 2 – Braking and Corner Entry

This session focuses on understanding how to approach and ride through corners safely and smoothly.

Brake → Turn → Gas

These actions should never be performed all at once.

Identifying braking markers
Braking while the bike is upright
Releasing the brake before leaning into the corner
Turning in smoothly while maintaining correct vision
Understanding the apex of the corner
Accelerating smoothly out of the corner

Riders will also learn when to shift down to a lower gear when entering tighter corners.

Session 3 – Body Position

Correct body position plays a major role in maintaining balance and control on the motorcycle.

Head – Always facing the direction you are looking.
Arms – Slightly bent, relaxed, and not gripping the handlebars tightly.
Chest – Turned toward the direction of travel.
Feet – Positioned on the balls of the feet, allowing for smooth gear changes.

Session 4 – Building Bike Control

This session focuses on developing confidence while controlling the motorcycle at low speeds.

If the skid pan is available, riders will move there to practice basic cone exercises designed to improve steering, control, and balance.

If the skid pan is not available, riders will use RSR off-road bikes on the grass behind the back pit area to practice similar control techniques.

Session 5 – On-Track Practice

In the final session, riders return to the circuit to apply everything they have learned throughout the day.

This practice session allows riders to focus on vision, cornering lines, smooth braking, body position, and building confidence while controlling the motorcycle on track.

By the end of the programme, riders will have a much stronger understanding of how to approach and ride safely on the circuit while building the confidence needed to continue developing their riding skills.
