Motorcycle Track Day FAQs

A track day gives you the opportunity to ride on a closed racetrack in sessions organized by experience level. Florida Trackdays combines track time with instruction to help you develop your riding skills. A track day is not a race; riders follow group rules, flags, and staff instructions.

Yes. If you are new to track riding, choose the Novice group, regardless of how long you have ridden on the street. You should already be comfortable operating your motorcycle; this is not a learn-to-ride course.

Choose Novice for your first track day. Riders with previous track experience can select an appropriate Intermediate or Advanced group. For new to Florida Trackdays Intermediate and Advance registrations, you will be contacted regarding confirmation of your prior track experience. Staff may adjust your group based on your riding ability at the track. For riding group bumps contact a Florida Trackdays personnel or coach at the track.  View riding groups and available dates.

Yes. Novice registration includes the New Rider School at no additional charge. It is a starting point for learning track procedures and developing your riding skills. Explore the Novice group.

Walk-up registration may be available if your group has space. Advance registration is strongly recommended because groups can sell out. There is a $30 fee for registration at the track.

Riders are divided into experience groups that rotate through track sessions. Sessions are generally 18-20 minutes, with the exact rotation being Advance, Intermediate and followed by Novice. Attend the mandatory rider meeting for the day’s procedures.

Bring your helmet and riding gear, motorcycle fuel, water and other drinks, food or snacks, a chair, towels, and basic supplies for your motorcycle. A small table and portable fan can make time between sessions more comfortable.
