IAM RoadSmart motorcycle Skills Days to return this summer

Independent road safety charity IAM RoadSmart has announced the dates for its 2021 programme of Skills Days, which allow motorcyclists the chance to learn valuable handling skills from qualified instructors while riding their own motorcycles on a race circuit.

Taking place at Thruxton in Hampshire, Mallory Park in Leicestershire and Croft in Darlington during this summer and autumn, the sessions are open to both IAM RoadSmart members and the general public – and allow attendees a rare chance to learn about handling and precision driving and riding on a race circuit, and to develop new skills that will help ensure both safety and enjoyment on public roads.

Drivers and riders will either work one-to-one with an instructor, or as part of a small group, and will be given the opportunity to fully understand what their car or motorcycle is capable of.

Tony Greenidge, IAM RoadSmart Chief Executive Officer, said: “Drivers and motorcycle riders rarely get the chance to fully explore what their car or bike is capable of. Nor do they get the opportunity to learn practical, everyday tips from experts within a racing circuit environment.

“Our Skills Days provide the perfect chance to enjoy the art and fun of driving and riding as well as to develop important new safety skills. It’s no wonder they’re so popular with both experienced and highly knowledgeable IAM RoadSmart members and those who are just starting out on their advanced learning journey.”

Attendees will have the chance to develop new skills in positioning and steering, gears, speed and acceleration. The 2021 dates for Skills Days are as follows:
