This is a trend seized by Aprilia among others and which the flash sale through the web of limited series of motorcycles at elite prices confirms. Because these unique machines sell out in just a few minutes, proof that there are a few fortunate people among motorcycle enthusiasts ready to treat themselves. KTM with a sports car dedicated to the track passed in less time than it takes to say it had mobilized its prestigious test rider Dani Pedrosa for customer training on a circuit. Aprilia obviously found the approach interesting and contacted Max Biaggi…
Max Biaggi, let us remember, is a six-time World Champion, titles taken in Grand Prix and in WSBK mainly under the banner Aprilia. The Noale firm saw this as an opportunity to organize a course with the privateer and brand ambassador to explain the theory and technique of sports driving. But it won’t be just any internship…
Organized at COTA in Austin, the experience will be reserved for only 5 very lucky and wealthy participants. This will not be a normal driving lesson, but the opportunity to “pick up” some very valuable advice offered by none other than the six-time Roman world champion. “The Aprilia Racing Experience with Max Biaggi” is in fact a unique opportunity very different from the usual courses offered by motorcycle manufacturers.
Aprilia pulls out all the stops
Judge for yourself: a full day at COTA (Circuit of the Americas, in Texas) with a classroom for the theoretical part and dressing rooms set up exclusively for participants. All at a cost of $5 including a complete Aprilia Racing VIP kit (jacket, jersey and hat), a VIP dinner and a guest evening before the activity and the commemorative gift.
Each participant will be entitled to a test session on one of the latest Aprilia models (RSV4, Tuono V4, RS 660 & Tuono 660) of their choice, free lunch, drinks throughout the activity and photography free track day. The track events will be divided in three groups of 20 minutes per hour depending on driving experience , so that each client can enjoy the day at the pace that suits them best. Space is very limited, in order to preserve the opportunity for everyone to try new cars and have fun on a less busy circuit.
The operation will be supported by Pirelli, partner of Aprilia Racers Days, where every Aprilia RSV4, Tuono V4 and 660 will be equipped with their latest sporty offering, the Diablo Rosso Corsa II tire, focused on performance from road to track. DThe latest generation of sports-oriented technical clothing will be presented by Dainese , Who will have master tailors from its Custom Works program available for testing and advice, and professionals from Dainese D-Stores will offer a demonstration fleet of D-Air suits for men and women.
The racing experience Aprilia with Max Biaggi is scheduled for 11th April : Of course, Austin isn't exactly the closest thing and space is somewhat limited. But the opportunity is always tempting. Those interested can book – or at least try – by following the instructions on the official website dedicated to the event...
