Performance Cornering Course & Track Day

Performance Cornering Course & Track Day

Levels Raceway, Timaru

🏍️ Next Performance Cornering Course

Saturday 11th October 2025

Combined with a Track Experience for more experienced riders who are after a pure track experience as opposed to improving road riding skills.

Transform your riding confidence in just one day. Learn from our chief instructor using the System of Motorcycle Control used by Police and emergency responders at New Zealand's premier training facility.
