Some of the comments and feedback:

"Just completed the 2 day Advanced Cornering Skills course with John Macdonald (instructor and director of ProScot) and 2 other great guys (students) who travelled from the west coast of Scotland to participate in the course. Despite having my licence for about 4 yrs the skills I learned on this course were incredible. The course is very well structured to cater for all ability levels and is designed to progressively and safely take you beyond your natural comfort levels of riding and enhance your understanding of your not only your own ability but also that of your bike. Don't be put of by a little rain.... there is no doubt that the persistent rain on day 1 of the course greatly assisted in developing all of our skills and on day 2, the dry day, the improved confidence levels and handling skills were a sight to be believed. This course is well worth the investment for not only giving you a greater riding experience but also a greater awareness of dangers and added tools in your skills bag to assist you in times of need which we all hope never to face... Thanks John.." Brian Miller

"Just spent a couple of days on the advanced cornering skills course with John Macdonald at ProScot. Had an excellent couple of days despite the rain on day 1. This course has been excellent in building my confidence. Thanks again John... Will come on another course soon." David Jones

"My friend and I just spent an excellent couple of days with John Macdonald of ProScot on their Advanced Cornering Techniques course. Despite two of the wettest days this year we learned how to ride quicker and safer than I thought possible in such poor conditions. Well worth the money for the confidence it's given and I would definitely recommend it to others - John's very knowledgeable on this subject and a great teacher." John Fleming

"I have just completed 2 days of Advanced Corning Techniques. Having driven throught some of the worst rain that we could of imagined.This did not phase John Macdonald, he used the conditions to our advantage. Following the classroom talks we went out and put all the theroy to the test, So we got to build knowlage and ability one small step at a time. John is a great instructor, easy to get along with, having endless ability. I now feel that I can read the roads so much better and have the ability to go out in any condition. Many thanks." Hywel Merrett.

"Been on an advanced motorcycle cornering techniques course the past two days led by 7 - time Scottish Champion John Macdonald at ProScot in Kirkcaldy. Easily the best money I have spent. I highly recommend it to all my biker pals" Robin Manson

Track Tuition

Do you fancy doing a track day but would like expert training and guidance. Are you already doing track days but feel like you're stuck in a rut and you want to improve your skill level. Perhaps you already race but would just like to see your lap times improve. 

Some track trainers have no formal instructional qualifications. John Macdonald is one of Britain's highest qualified car and motorcycle trainers. He is also an 8 times Scottish motorcycle racing champion. John returned to track in 2018 having retired in 2008 as the Scottish Supersport Champion. John proved he had lost non of his speed by winning 4 races that year and lapping around knockhill in 50.3 seconds. 

John's real passion is racing, track days and helping others to improve their riding skills. John loves doing European track days, as he puts it, "great weather, great tracks and a great holiday". He's ridden around Jerez, Brno, Almeria, Cartagena, Valencia and Portimao, each time ending up at the sharp end of the fastest group on his first visit. 

Why not book a track session with John and benefit from his years of knowledge and experience to learn the secrets of smooth, fast riding. 

John took training from 4 well known highly regarded track instructors in 2017/18 and was amazed most did no more than simply lead him around the track or follow him around with literally no feedback or areas to help him to improve. 

John realised there was a gap in the market for professional track tuition please contact us to find out about our track tuition courses. Courses are available in Scotland and European tracks by arrangement. Special rates for group bookings.
