---So basically I go to Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya website and pay for the days I want to go?
Some race track can do that but mostly, you will have to go a specific track org website that offers track days at that track and others.
Driver training, race track training and racing events on the racetracks of Europe and the USA - motorcycle trips to dream destinations including motorcycle transport.
www.bike-promotion.com
is one of many track org. they are German org that has a branch in Spain and they do many there. I have done Valencia and Aragon with them. They offer bike rent. There are Spain Track org that does many Spain track days as well.
---Do you find it easier to do track in Europe vs USA?
It is 100% easier to do a track day in Europe and 100% easier at the track as well.
Even a local "small" track like NCBike in Europe has full power stations for free, medical ambulances on standby, track car that does a sighting lap, Van on stand by for removing crashed bikes, showers in each pit box, full restaurants and Wifi through out (example). Mugello... is out of this world but thats another subject.
---So the tracks just post dates that you're able to come on track?
Go to specific Track Org that offers different track and different days. Europe basically has a track day every single day at each track.
---Do they do groups like Novice, Intermediate, Advanced like they do here? Or just a free for all?
This is what really differs with USA. Europe has 4 groups. Expert to Beginner or A to D...whatever you like to call it.
EVERY rider is given a Transponder and EVERYONE is LIVE TIMED and you will be put in the RIGHT group by your TIME. There is no EGO by a rider or even a Track Org over controlling. I've seen a Track Org with a power trip and bigger Ego than a rider.
You basically Qualify to your Group. Its simply BLACK and WHITE.
Track days run 1000% smoother and less incidents.
---Is it more or less expensive to do track in Europe vs USA? Spain of course in particular.
In general, Europe is cheaper. COTA is like $600-$750 a day!!! COTA is like 6/10 compared to Mugello, it was $700 for 3 days and its 10/10. Valencia and Aragon is like 600-700 for 3 days.
But but but COTA is a GP track...well All tracks in Europe is a GP tracks...even a small ones has facilities like a GP track.
