Would love to attend a race school, and was disappointed to hear the Ron Haslam school has now shut down.

Any other ones you'd recommend that provides the bike and all the kit etc?

Ideally would like to do a few days and not just the one.


Cheers

CSS is back up and running,now in partnership with Kawasaki.
Did my levels 2 & 3 couple of weeks ago at brands,highly recommended,if a bit pricey.
Bike hire available,but not kit due to COVID restrictions,expect it’s the same elsewhere.

I did my Level 1 with CSS just before they went belly up a couple of years ago. I haven't been back since they started up again but I really enjoyed the level 1 even though I didn't necessarily feel like I learnt anything new at that level. I would like to do the remainder of the levels but they are pretty pricey and a little hard to justify at the minute.

I've also done a few James Whitham track days and personally I felt like I got a lot out of those days, especially the last one where we had Dean Harrison and Ian Simpson in our group.
To get the best out of them you do need to show that you're listening to them and learning and show on track while you're being shown lines etc .... that you're taking notice. Being vocal in the end of session debriefs helps too.

I really like the look of these, shame they don't run that many so they book up really quickly.

Bit of a wildcard option for you is the below.
Not a track school per se, but a friend found it really helpful in understanding the dynamics of the bike which he was able to apply to his track riding and is pretty rapid now!
