With these changes and the likelihood of all events selling out rapidly we are changing how we sign up our track day participants.

Go to the new RideSmart website and sign up directly with RideSmart for the days you would like to ride. Use the same email address you have used to receive RideSmart track event emails.
Do not sign up for a garage if you would like to be in the Ducati Austin garage. Email us that what dates you have signed up for and that you would like to join us. We will offer similar VIP service as is the past, space will be limited so it is first come first served. We will have approximately 10 - 12 spaces available per day for each event and they will sell out quickly.
Ducati Austin VIP Garage & Support: $335/per day
If your would like Ducati Austin to reserve your track sessions contact us ASAP. We cannot guarantee that spaces will be available when we submit the request to RideSmart.
Ducati Austin VIP Track Session, Garage & Support: $985/per day
