1000cc Japanese superbike
The core thrill comes from riding as a passenger on a very sporty 1000cc Japanese bike, engineered for acceleration, agility and high‑speed cornering—delivered under the control of professional pilots.
Qualified professional pilots
The experience is run by instructors qualified to DEJEPS standards, who handle the machine and the pace so passengers can feel concentrated adrenaline without managing the ride themselves.
Short, intense on‑track runs
The baptême is structured as a focused sequence—brief welcome and briefing, equipment fitting, three fast laps of the circuit and a short debrief—designed to deliver maximum sensation in a compact time frame.
