Pit passes
 
I'm looking to get a pit pass for the MotoGP at Donny ... looking to get in the pits on the Sat and Fri too would be cool

Not too fussed about it but it would be very nice. The problem I have is that the websites I've been on don't seem to have them. Can anyone help??

You'll be lucky - not for MotoGP!

How am I going to convince Troy I'm his bestest mate ever? get a job running the IT show for Ducati? get locked up for being a psycho stalker!

a: put on a pair of overalls buy a rear slick sling it over your shoulder run up to the gate and in your best pigeon italian shout "tyre! tyre! for Ducati let me through very urgent"

or

b: put on a pair of orange overalls get yourself a red flag run up to the gate and shout "quick i have to flag this practise i'm late"

Lol! I like it Nigel ... could *almost* work too!

Sounds like you're going to be meeting some important people at Donny. Why not ask for a pass? If ya don't ask, ya don't get!!:)

Thanks to all ...

I got in years ago, on a marked up courier bike delivering an 'empty' jiffy bag with with parts for HRC

The jiffy bag did come covered in Honda stickers etc as it had originally had some HRC bits in once.
Took a lot of blagging and a mate on the inside who had warned the gateman that a courier was turning up with some urgent bits:devil::lol:

Quality! Well done that man!

Little or no chance to get in the pits for a GP,I'm afraid.I read that the Spanish organisers have introduced swipe card pit passes to stop folks passing them on.
I once won pit passes in a Fast Bikes competition.I met all the superstars at the time,Shwantz,Rainey,Doohan,Cadalora,etc.
It was a bit overrated really.

I had pit passes to last years WSB at mangy corpse, and really enjoyed myself. Most of the riders were happy to stop and chat (except Hodgeson after he fell off!).

Might be a bit different at GP level though.
