Level 3 is the top level of RDP and covers advanced techniques such as such as trail braking, using a slipper clutch (or mimicking a slipper clutch with a standard clutch) and how to master engine braking. It is therefore designed for proficient trackday riders who are typically in the upper part of the intermediate group or advanced group.

Typical day

Signing on and safety briefing
When you arrive at the circuit you will be assigned your instructor who will be dedicated to you and two other students exclusively for the day. You'll be fast-tracked through signing on before being escorted to your own garage where you will receive a private briefing covering everything you'll need to know about the day.

This will also give your instructor a chance to find out from you if there are any specific things that you are looking to work on or any goals you're trying to achieve from the course. If you don't know - don't worry. They'll help you identify the areas where you can improve and help you achieve a level of riding that you never thought possible.

Sighting laps
All participants must carry out sighting laps on trackday events. However, with your own instructor to follow, you can be sure that you start the day working on the correct lines.

One to one tuition
Each rider will receive approximately 80 minutes of one to one tuition with an instructor which will be split into four sessions - two 20 minute on circuit instruction sessions and two 20 minute debriefing sessions in the pit lane.

Group classroom sessions
Throughout the day there will be a further three classroom sessions (maximum of three riders per group) covering the techniques outlined below.

Practice sessions
You also have the opportunity to practice what you have learned throughout the day in a further four 20 minute practice sessions on circuit helping you master the disciplines covered in each course.

End of day de-briefing
At the end of the day, your instructor will carry out a de-briefing with you where you will receive an analysis sheet to take away with you detailing how you have progressed throughout the day and areas to work on in the future.

Recap of RDP Level 1 & 2 A recap of all the disciplines from RDP Level 1 and 2 will ensure that you are ready to work on more advanced techniques that are taught in Level 3.
Advanced steering and weight transfer This section of the programme will teach you how to use your body weight in order to turn the bike as fast as possible.
Mastering engine braking and use of slipper clutch In the final element of the programme, we'll teach you all about using the gears and engine to carry out effective trail braking. We'll also teach you how to use a slipper clutch, or mimick it's affect if your bike doesn't have one.
