All im after is getting some of my minichamps signed, thats all. Sad I know but if I go into collecting things then it means more to me if they have that little extra. Oh well.

i'll sign it ....

Dibble V sign

I feel sure the last time I was at Donnington there was a price of £5 extra for a paddock pass. That was at BSB last year though so maybe that is different? Did I dream that?

[KeefyB]

No,that would just be for the BSB.There is NO public access to the paddock on GP weekend.It would be easier to get in to the Bank of Englands bullion vault.
Adam,if you need owt signing,ie Rossi,then you best bet is either the day of Champs or the GP preview thing they do in Landon Tarn.Be prepared to queue tho,everyone wants a peice of him and he gets mobbed wherever he goes.

Keefy any idea when day of champs/GP preview is? Good idea of yours though.

[antonye]

Day of Champions is always the thursday before the race - the same day as the DSC "Meet the Team" night.

[KeefyB]

Yep,Day of Champions is usually on the thursday before the GP.I think the MotoGP preview/promotional thing is on the tuesday or wednesday before.Usually held in Leicester Sq.
Keep an eye out for the dates in MCN.

thanks guys.

the day of champs is a very good day , but becoming very popular
your in the track for a tenner and get to meet most of the riders as they do their thing , but some do hide out of the way because its packed .
i did the ride in on the track last year , but was wet ! fun in the dry !
the auction in the evening is good because of the gear thats up for auction and the money goes to charity and all the main riders attend !
overall a cracking day out !!!
