The Tracstar™ Challenge is a free and optional skills-based rider certification and awards program which focuses on developing both physical and mental bike control skills and safety habits. It is inspired by proven sports training programs that have worked well for decades around the globe.

With Tracstar, riders receive formal training and earn recognition for demonstrated proficiency, which should result in a lower future crash risk in any environment. As a track day and riding school instructor since 2001 The program draws together program elements from what he has seen work with a great number of track day attendees and school students.

Program co-developer Todd Robinson (Founder and school director of TrackXperience) says, "There is simply too much focus on pushing for fast laps at the expense of being a smooth or safe rider. In fact our most successful students have proven that by focusing on smoothness and control they are able to lower their lap times while becoming safer riders".

TRACSTAR: Skills Certification, Purpose to Track Riding

Tracstar participants will work their way through the different levels: Bronze, Silver, Gold and Master Rider. To graduate each level, riders will need to demonstrate proficiency in a broad range of skills.

Tracstar graduates will be safer and faster riders while enjoying the advantage of enhanced bike control.

To qualify for Tracstar Bronze, a rider should be able to demonstrate the basic skills that are taught in the Level 1 school. Tracstar Silver includes solid skills that build on the Bronze level, and prepare you to be a predictable and smooth Level 2 rider. To qualify for Tracstar Gold, a rider should be able to demonstrate significantly improved precision riding at the high intermediate to advanced pace, although Tracstar Gold is ALL about control, not speed. And finally, to qualify for Tracstar Master Rider, a rider will be expected to demonstrate extremely precise and skilled riding skills. (Levels and expectations are outline in the student syllabus)
