WSB deal ends Foggy track academy

If you’re ready to take your place on a Carl Fogarty Academy, prepare to be disappointed. The academy, which offered a Ducati 748 to hammer round the track for a day, has been scrapped.

Octagon, which owns the tracks where the days were held, has stopped selling places. It’s a result of Foggy severing his links with Ducati last year when he set up his own WSB squad.

Octagon is transferring people who were due to spend a day on the Foggy school – which the four-time WSB champion didn’t always attend – to new schools in association with Yamaha.

But that’s not washing with some, who spent £300 with the specific intention of riding the Ducati.

One, who asked not to be named, said: ” I don’t want to do it any more. I want my money back, but I’ve been told I have to show a good reason first.

” My wife forked out the money as a birthday present and we both feel let down. It’s upsetting as I wanted to go round on a Ducati. I’m a fan of Foggy and all that went with it so I fancied a Ducati for the day. ”
