Scottish Ducati Week promises celebs, test rides, and plenty of track time

The second ever Scottish Ducati Week will kick off on Friday 14 July 2023 – promising demo rides of the latest models, track sessions at Knockhill, and plenty of famous faces.

“Ducati UK is delighted to see the expansion of Ducati in Scotland as this is an important market for us,” UK Managing Director, Fabrizio Cazzoli said. “To be able to announce the event which is being organised by our newest dealer Ducati Dundee is exciting.

“I will be there for the event, and I am looking forward to seeing Ducati Dundee’s new store and also being able to meet and talk to our Scottish customers.”

Starting at Ducati Dundee on the Friday with an exclusive Ducati Official Club GB event, ahead of its official opening the following day, the weekend of action will see appearances from racing royalty including Carl Fogarty, and Ruben Xaus – plus TV personality Charley Boorman, boxer Carl Froch, and Coronation Street actor Jimmi Harkishan.

Saturday 15 July will see the official opening of Ducati Dundee before the fun moves to Knockhill on the Sunday for track sessions. Here, there will be the chance to ride the circuit in clockwise and anti-clockwise rotations with instruction from BSB star Christian Iddon. Racing legends Ian Simpson, and Iain MacPherson will also be on hand.

“Since acquiring Ducati Glasgow in 2021, it was apparent Scotland required a second store to serve the East of Scotland and provide the ability to supply further outstanding customer service and care we pride ourselves on,” Owner of Ducati Manchester Group (who run the event) said.

“We quickly decided to invest in a second store and share our passion for Ducati to a wider audience in Scotland to make Ducati more accessible. I’m extremely proud of the team in Scotland for creating such a fantastic store.”

On top of the Knockhill action, the weekend will also include adventure riding experiences, stunt shows, pillion rides, kids’ experiences and more. For the full details, visit scottishducatiweek.co.uk
