Following the fully-booked success of last year’s exclusive track riding school by ex-World Champion Alex Gramigni, Old School Racing powered by Pirelli & Yamaha returns with an enhanced calendar of events held at the beautiful Tuscan circuit of Mugello.
With the continued support of Pirelli and Yamaha, Old School Racing, with Alex Gramigni’s highly qualified and back-to-basics teaching methods, has become one of the most exclusive experiences on the track riding school calendar. His tried and tested formula provides each participant with the use of a brand new Yamaha YZF-R1 2018 machine equipped for the Old School Racing event with the same Pirelli DIABLO™ Superbike SC3 slick racing tyres, as used in the MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship.

Marc Marquez — Repsol Honda Team:
“Really happy to be World Champion! Two years of Michelin and two world titles, this is a good thing for me. In the first part of the season it was quite difficult to understand the limit of the tyres, but then Michelin did an incredible job and solved all these issues and all the riders really started to enjoy riding. The season has been amazing and all the team and staff at Michelin helped me a lot and I want to say thanks, especially to Patrick — the guy that helps me in the box — because he retired today, and he was someone very special.”
Dunlop has announced they will launch a fourth new tyre in their hypersport portfolio in March 2018. The Dunlop SportSmart TT has been developed to meet the needs of riders with the very latest sports bikes and performance roadsters who want to use the same tyre on track and for road riding.
The name SportSmart TT derives from Dunlop’s road focused SportSmart range and adds the letters TT, which refer to “Track Technology”.
The launch of the SportSmart TT marks Dunlop’s comeback to a segment of the market where they last competed with the renowned Qualifier RR over a decade ago.
The SportSmart TT is the fourth new Dunlop hypersport tyre to be launched in the past year and completes Dunlop’s strategy, announced last year, of taking a new approach to the segment in redefining their range around the goal of a ‘tyre for every rider’.

Pit bikes or pocket bikes are mini motorcycles that fathers use to introduce their young children to the world of motorcycling. There are various organizers of these small racing series where the little ones can compete against each other and get their first taste of racing. Even the ADAC (Allgemeiner Deutscher Automobil-Club) organizes a Pocket Bike Cup, which has been held for the 22nd time in 2017.
These 4-horsepower bikes are miniature versions of large racing motorcycles and currently run on PMT standard tires. Only tires from PMT are permitted. No other tires from other manufacturers or sizes may be used.
In addition to the fun that everyone is supposed to have, it's also about hundredths of a second, so the motorcycles are eagerly tinkered with.
Other tire manufacturers also offer suitable tires for these small bikes. There are different motorcycle tires for every application, such as slicks, motocross, street, etc.
