Ducati India has concluded its first ever DRE Track Days in the country. The race track-focused event saw over 130 Ducati and non-Ducati owners participating over the weekend at the Buddh International Circuit. 

The event was aimed at enhancing the skills of riders on track and provided them an opportunity to ride their motorcycles in their true habitat. The participants also got a chance to experience the Ducati line-up including the Panigale V4, 959 Panigale, SuperSport among others. The event was spearheaded by Ducati’s chief test rider Alessandro Valia and DRE Instructor Carlos Bulto Serrano who together helped the riders to hone their riding techniques and have better control while riding on track.

On the first day of DRE-Track Days, Alessandro Valia had set a new track record of 1.56.316” at the BIC on the Panigale V4S, breaking the earlier record by almost 2 seconds. Speaking on the occasion, Alessandro Valia said, “It has been a thrilling experience for me to ride on such a beautiful yet technical track in India wherein I was able to set a new record for young riders. I believe that riding on track requires specific techniques and skill-sets DRE Track Days gives riders the perfect opportunity to learn and tame the track. I would love to see one of the young India riders braking this record very soon”. Stay tuned for our full story on the DRE – Track Days.
