This was a seriously special day… getting the Ducati Panigale V2S out on track at Donington Park Circuit for a proper Ducati track day — full leathers on, adrenaline pumping, and finally getting to ride this incredible Ducati motorcycle the way it was built to be ridden.
I don’t do motorcycle track days often (this is only my second time at Donington), but after recently road-tripping across Belgium on this same Ducati Panigale — including a surreal parade lap of the legendary Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps with Ducati — it sparked something in me. Riding that iconic circuit made me crave a real track experience again… and Ducati made it happen.
This Ducati track day turned into an epic learning experience. I focused on:
• Reading the track properly
• Body positioning on the Ducati Panigale
• Overtaking safely and confidently
• Carrying speed through corners
• Building confidence lap by lap
And yes… I got my knee down, rubber off the sliders and a huge grin inside the helmet.
There is honestly nothing quite like riding a Ducati Panigale V2S on track — the sound, the speed, the corner entry, the atmosphere of a Ducati event… it’s intoxicating. The adrenaline, the community, the bikes — everything about a motorcycle track day just hits differently.
Massive thanks to Ducati for hosting such an unforgettable experience and giving me the chance to explore what this Ducati machine can really do.
Would I do another track day? Absolutely. Already dreaming about the next one.
