The 2006 Goodwood Festival of Speed will see Ducati represented by two fabulous machines with world famous riders on board. The Ducati Corse Moto GP Team will be bringing their two-seater MotoGP bike based on the Desmosedici GP6. It will be ridden ‘up the hill’ by GP legend Randy Mamola. The bike is very similar to those ridden by Loris Capirossi and Sete Gibernau, but with two seats offering VIPs at selected events a unique, once in a lifetime experience of riding pillion with GP winner Randy Mamola as their pilot. Famous guests who have ridden pillion on the Ducati Desmosedici include Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone, ex-Formula One drivers Gerhard Berger and Johnny Herbert, Olympic Gold medallist Sir Matthew Pinsent, DJ and musician Goldie, Richard Jones, bassist with the Stereophonics and most recently Michael Schumacher. Randy Mamola has now taken over 200 passengers on the Desmosedici who have experienced the 230 plus horsepower of the Ducati two-seater. The Ducati Xerox World Superbike team are bringing along their awesome 999F06 machine with current runaway points leader, Australian Troy Bayliss as rider. The 2001 Superbike champion will make a number of exhibition runs at the famous Goodwood hill. Entrance is by advance ticket only (www.goodwood.co.uk). |
