  5. I suspect that has something to do with them losing use of the Stowe Circuit at Silverstone as that's now run by Aston Martin
    I feel for the guys that have lost their jobs

  7. It'll mean there'll be some cheap 959's and 1299's on sale from the liquidators soon

  9. Maybe not using Ducati and Silverstone might have helped the bank balance.

  10. It’s a tough business model. Expensive circuit plus, what, £500 per day training and it’s not even 121 and you have to follow their ‘start at level 1’ rules? Amazed it it lasted this long tbh

  13. What did the California Superbike School training programme give you at the end that Ron Haslam’s operation up at Donnington doesn’t ? Andy

  16. It is sad news, for all involved. As a franchise I guess someone else may pick up the name and give it another run.

    The Ducati trackday’s will be looking for a new partner too then :thinkingface:

  17. I can’t imagine it’ll be hard for Ducati UK to get someone else to host their days

  19. Huge shame, they were a well run outfit but over the last few years seem to have lost their way a bit with high churn on instructors etc, had its heyday under Andy Ibbotts control, feel for those that have lost their jobs, hard model to make money from hope it comes back at some point but the training IP belongs to Keith Code.
