Ducati Sporting Club UK > General > Idle Chat > Moto GP - where to watch in 2007?

[Rattler]

Having seen and HEARD the Suzki Moto GP bike at Brands on Sunday and having not been to a Moto GP race - can anyone recommend which of the non-UK based races is easiest / best to go to in 2007?

I'd like to make it a Euro trip and be there for a few days - any advice?

John Hopkins on the GSVR was awesome wasn't he.... what a noise. I have only ever been to Moto GP at Donington Park so not really qualified to advise where to go abroad. However, my shortlist has consisted of Jerez, Mugello, Catalunya and Estoril....

Been to mugello for the past 2 years, its a great experience and has an incredible atmosphere, definately one to go to! We Just booked gp tickets direct through the circuit and did everything else ourselves,sat with the rossi fanclub and had a ball, just beware the trains as they get a little cramped!! I personally hope to go to misano if it appears on next years calendar as expected

I went to Jerez with Big Rock earlier this year,fantastic weekend.Well organised trip with a bus to and from the hotel to the circuit.Great grandstand seats,...well recommended.Enjoyed it that much,have booked for Valencia.

I wouldnt waste my money on donny gp now. It can actually work out quite reasonable taking in a foreign leg if you split a car with mates etc and get a cheap flight.

My money would be on sepang. Not as expensive as you think flying to Kuala Lumpur if you catch it right and it could be a nice little break (adding on a city break or even a trip over to Langkawai with the missus!).

And then theres Laguna - linked in with a trip to San Fran..excellent !

Otherwise Mugello or Jerez..

Tim,

MUGELLO

My Dad says its the best race meeting he's ever been to (and he's been to alot). Its not cheap and you really need main stand seats to be amongst it, but it'll be worth it.

For a nice easy ride to, there is allways le mans or assen.

i agree sepang i great for viewing gp but is is a long way to travel
did it in 2001 for 5 days
was a fantastic track
i should imagine mugello , jerez and catalunya are up there as some of the best tracks to catch a euro moto gp race
myself i aim to do laguna seca before 2010 !

Cataluynas a great track,done four days there,flew out Friday,home on Monday.Grandstand tickets,car hire,4star hotel(3nights) and flights for just over £200 each shared between four,defo do it again.
