KTM Race Camp
The first KTM Race Camp in the United
Kingdom has opened at FatCat Motoparc in Doncaster,
Yorkshire.
The off-road school is aimed at every motocrosser
- from the occasional rider to the hardened professional
– with tuition spearheaded by former Grand Prix
and Motocross of Nations winner, Paul Malin.
Costing just £159, including lunch and refreshments,
the UK KTM Race Camp is open to riders from aged six
and above, on all makes and models of MX machinery.
No equipment is provided, but the option of riding
the very latest KTM machines is available with a fleet
of hire bikes at an additional cost.
With three, all-weather sand circuits of differing
difficulty and excellent facilities, FatCat is regarded
as one of the country’s premier motocross venues
and each KTM Race Camp day is limited to just ten
places to ensure riders get the full attention of
the instructors.
Whether it’s preparing for competition or just
beating a mate on practice days, each course is structured
to assess a rider and break down their riding into
the individual techniques needed in MX. Through practical
coaching and classroom sessions, every rider will
come away with either new skills or existing ones
sharpened.
Paul Malin, chief instructor for the UK KTM Race
Camp, said: “Inexperienced riders can obviously
learn a lot at the KTM Race Camp, but often we find
experienced and returning riders hanging on to a lot
of bad habits that we can iron out. Having someone
analyse and criticise your riding might not sound
great, but our instructors will always pick up things
that can help make you a better rider.”
KTM UK Managing Director, Shaun Sisterson, said:
“For KTM, ‘Ready to Race’ is much
more than a marketing slogan; all our bikes are developed
from racers competing and winning at the very highest
level, for all riders to benefit from. The KTM Race
Camps have been very successful in Europe and offer
riders a chance to hone their skills at an excellent
facility with the option of riding the latest SX range
of KTMs.”
The full 2012 calendar will be released imminently,
but, for those who can’t wait, there will be
one opening date in 2011 on November 27.
