Apart from getting to meet Ducati's WSBK racers, participants of the DRE Champs Day will get three track riding sessions aboard Ducati's Panigale range of sportbikes with the flagship Panigale V4 S taking center stage.

The entire event will be managed by experienced DRE riding instructors. Prior to hitting the race track, participants will be oriented regarding the track, as well as filled in about some track riding secrets from Scott Redding and Michael Rinaldi.

Young riders will also get to join in on the fun at DRE Champs Day, as Ducati will have a "DRE Rookie Essentials" segment during the event dedicated to riders between 18 and 24 years old with an A2 motorcycle license. During this segment, young Ducatisti in the making will get to test the new Monster, SuperSport 950, and the Ducati Scrambler 800 —machines which can be fitted with a restrictor kit thereby making them A2-compliant in Europe.
