At the end of February, Aprilia officially announced the return of Aprilia Racers Days to American shores in 2022. The new calendar official kicked off on April 12 at Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas—and it started out with a bang, since Max Biaggi was on hand for a special VIP Riding Experience. The rest of the U.S. dates for Aprilia Racers Days 2022 run through October—but that was the only one featuring instruction from the two-time WSBK champ.
What about Aprilia fans outside the U.S.? In April, 2022, the House of Noale is now answering that question, at least a little bit. If you live in Europe, Aprilia just published its calendar of official Aprilia Racers Days events in Italy, France, Germany, Spain, and Great Britain. All dates are subject to change closer to the events, but here’s what we know so far.
As with the Aprilia Racers Days events in the U.S., attendees will be able to test the Aprilia RSV4 Factory, Tuono V4 Factory, RS 660, and Tuono 660 Factory on track at each event. Two programs will be available for riders to participate in. Exclusive rides will have an instructor lead the riders around the track for the first lap, showing the perfect lines to take for each circuit. This package also comes with a hospitality box and technical support, so riders can better learn how to set up their bikes and address questions or problems that may arise.
The Riding Academy will see certified instructors take students around on a Basic Course (for newbies) or a Pro Course (for experienced track day riders). Each course will contain a maximum of four students, who will each get six different shifts on track over the course of the riding day. Lunch and rain insurance are also included if you enroll in one of these track days.
