| The best thing to do is get your membership to the DSC in right now, and make sure you keep your eyes on the board!
Every year the club gets allocated a number of tickets to a "Meet the Team" evening at the MotoGP round (as well as the two World Superbike rounds) and these are drawn at random from the hat, from all members who put in to go.
It happens on the thursday night before the race, and you meet up in the hospitality unit (or the naff cafe if it's Donington!) and the team join you for dinner. Lots of opportunity to get stuff signed, chat, have pictures taken and so on. After this, there follows the usual DSC invasion of the paddock.
Last year there was a nominal cost for the meal (£15 I think) but it's basically a priceless event, and one you won't get to unless you're a member of the club proper and not just the message board.
If you want tickets for the actual race, again these can be purchased through the club on the special Ducati UK offer which has run for the last couple of years. The cost is a couple of quid over the face price of the ticket, but the goodie bag last year included a hat, t-shirt and some other bits & pieces along with neck strap for your pass to get into the exclusive Ducati trackside viewing area. This means that not only do you get an exceptional view of the race but that you're not fighting for somewhere to sit. There was also a raffle last year to win some great prizes, along with free soft drinks all day too.
I'm sure that all of the details will be released later on once Ducati UK have got their details, and so on. I know it got incredibly close to the actual race weekend last year and it was a mad rush to send off cheques and everything!
If you have a look back through the board or do a search you will find some of last year's threads about it and pictures too.
Just another great reason to join the club!  |
