R&G Track Day Donington Park

Trackdays. Bizarre events, normally gathering all kinds adrenaline hungry motorcycle riders. Noise, petrol fumes and power ranger suits guaranteed. 

On the 19th of September, at a damp Donington Park, there was a slight difference though. 


Are any words even needed for this? TAG Racing Yamaha R1M

R&G Crash Protection partnered up with NoLimits Trackdays to put on another solid day. They invited the TAG Racing Team for practice and a few of Instagram’s fastest growing UK Motorcycle Influencers in Garage 28.


After the track surface dried, both Max & Jonjo started to build the pace after recent track spills put physical and mental walls in place. The R&G Crash Protection fitted to Jonjo's NINJA certainly saved the bike from expensive damage, meaning it could be ridden at Donington without any major mechanical repairs.

Donington is an incredible circuit with fast sweeping bends, double apexes and technical hairpins. An awesome place to push your limits and enjoy some 'quality track time', as NoLimits would say. 

You know that smell of petrol fumes we mentioned? Well, if you were at Donington on the 19th of Sept, you will have noticed that in Garage 28, there was a red piece of electronic wizardry. The ZERO SR. Producing 0 petrol emissions and 0 noise.

A fully electric, plug-in, 116ft/lbs rocket ship. Which we tested on the circuit. The review of the SR is coming soon - stay tuned.

The purpose of R&G’s presence at Donington was to get involved in the track day scene, raise awareness of their product range, and of course provide solutions to anyone who needed some advice for their motorcycle crash protection.
