Hi to all
If anyone is interested the Official Dorna VIP tickets are for sale on the Motogp.com web site, at  999.00 euro
I just wonder if Dorna are going to take full control of the venue to make it a better organised weekend than WSBK, like tshirts that fit westerners and more food and drinks including water that dosent run out

Saying that the SBK lounge was good the last 2 years and the stands are also good for the racing.

Hi to all that may be interested in Premier Motorcycle Racing.
The Moto GP testing for the 2018 will be on the 16/17 & 18 of February 2018.
No info if its free to watch.

Cheers

Moto GP tickets on sale. 5th to 7th October.
Guys........I've checked out various ticket sites and all Grandstand early bird tickets seem to be sold. Does anyone know if they can be purchased at the track ticket office??

[Somnat]

http://www.allticket.com/ is showing NO tickets available for the main grandstand.

I saw on a Facebook feed more than a week ago that the grandstand was sold out.

Side stands still available.

I am not sure if the All Ticket office at the track is still open now that winter testing is finished  (?)

I tried to change my 7/11 receipt for an October pass and was told "not yet"

I asked when? " Don't know"   

 

[Freddy]

Thanks Somnat. That's what I feared. Looks like it will have to be side stand.

[Freddy]

I managed to get 7 Marquez Stand tickets. I've never been to the circuit. Can anyone tell me if the Marquez stand is covered/has shade??

Part of me wanted to wait and see if 7/11 do come up with any tickets as advertised but thought better to play safe. It may well be that some grandstand tickets are being held back but who knows. The adverts claim 4,000 for Grandstand at 7/11.

[Somnat]

Freddy, neither the Rossi or Marquez stands have been built as yet.

I would like to think that they will be well covered, at least to the same configuration as the  existing side stand.

The Rossi and Marquez stands, I am led to believe, will be to the East (right hand side) of the grandstand looking out to the track.


 

[Freddy]

Somnat. Ahh, OK. That's why I can't find any images of them. I've seen circuit map with them marked and yes, from the grandstand they are to the right just before the final bend. Looks a reasonable position for forward view of whole circuit.

I trust there is a better plan for car parking than the Winter Testing last few days. Was a complete schmozzle. Acres and acres of beautiful concrete parking area near the main stand completely fenced off and unusable.

Don't know what numbnut thought this was a good idea.

All traffic being directed into a piddly little parking area already full of cars, all parked higgledy piggledy, as you do in LOS.

Was interesting to watch the MotoGP guys though. Take your earplugs if going to the big event in October. Was way louder than Superbikes.

Motogp Circuit Map attached, only Grandstand and Side stand A in existence, rest yet to be built.

Probably going to be reserved for VIP on the day. I would imagine that the amount of VIP attendance for the inaugural event will be high.

A Local Vlogger was there at the Weekend , here's his You Tube

Yay, the Rossi and Marquez Stands might also be temporary stands - tent style?
Anyway, it will be a blast!  See you all at the Marquez stand in October!!!
