Donington MotoGP Schedule

[St0rmer66]

I know the gates open at 6am but what time are others actually arriving? If I have to be there for 6am I will need to set off at about 4am .

Why do you have to get there soo early, is it because tickets run out or something?

I and Soulrider are going but I have no idea what time we are leaving, if we need to get there for 6am, then we too will need to leave very early we are around a 100 miles away from Donny.

Am going to get there for about 8 ish, I've got to collect my ticket from the box office and I don't think it opens until about then anyway.

Looks like there could be some freaky storms over the next week, glad I'm not camping now.

You mean on actual race-day? They might let you into the car park at 6am but I can assure you you won't get onto the track then, we usually aim to be in at about 8.30 to get the stall ready for opening and the public aren't let through until at least about 9 if I remember from the last couple of years.

Bring your wellies, it's going to be a wet one this year I reckon.

If anyone is passing through the trader hall I will be flogging model bikes and bits and bobs on the motorcyclegifts stall - I'm the short fat bird with the glasses so please say hello!

My dads getting me up early so we can get there for 6am.

Think I may say hello babyyam as I will probably pass through, can't wait. My first moto gp meeting. Am hoping it doesn't rain hard though.

If the racing gets called off coz of really bad rain do they offer refunds?

Yeah I mean on the race day. I already have my tickets so that isn't a problem. The first warm up is at 8:45am so I assume it's good to arrive for then at least. Think I will set off at around 6 and be there for 8 then! Thanks for the help . I have to travel 95 miles of motorway .

Got advanced weekend camping tickets, we're going down Friday lunch time, pitch the tent etc, get BBQ lit and start the party.

Be getting there at about 2pm ish.

Anyone fancies hookin up be good to put some faces to BCF names...

[mr.z]

er.. I'm apparently going to be able to get in free so I'll be about most likely, not on the bike i don't think but will bike it if possible.. if you see a bright yellow cx that'll be mine

Are there any problems taking a camera? I'd guess not but thought I'd check anyway

I was going to book tickets to this, friday to sunday camping. £90 a ticket! i can go and see BSB / WSB for £20. Seems a bit steep even for MotoGP. So im giving it a miss this year, ill go nxt yr though. Have a good time stromer. Only realised it was on because i saw your MSN name

getyerkneedown- thanks for that, thought as much but thinking of takeing the slr so thought i'd check anyhow.. yes bike is easy enough to spot

babyyam- yes might be a bit unwieldy even if ratchet straps were employed.. i still wants it but I'm struggling to find a place it could live, i had got a place but its fallen through, so the other solution involves bricks and a bit more effort

I'll have a blue tshirt with a boat on it or I'll be wearing a natty hein gericke jacket that's falling to bits with a load of keys on it and a purple moose bottle opener

I know this is weird but is there a band or party or anything like that happening? (private or otherwise)

Have fun all of you. Wish I was going but got to do some family shit after the TT trip. Real shame that Jonothan Rea has had his wildcard entry pulled - I'd have loved to have seen what he could do with a motoGP bike.

[Psychonaut]

I'm thinking about going up Saturday (£25) but I ain't payin £60 for raceday (would be £120 cos my other half wants to go but has no spare cash)

I just want to see if those Ducati's sound better than the WSB ones (cos they sound awsome at the WSB earlier this year)

The forcast is p.m. shower Sat, thick cloud for Sunday (at the moment anyway)

have decided to leave the car and the bike at home for that reason, owdamer! Will be camping out, getting there sat morning about 11ish - depending of course on the trains running OK'ish

Look for a Jackyboy emblazoned jacket with a Timebomb racing logo on it
Waterproof onepiece may be in order, i feel. Will make me look like a right twat without the VFR but heyho - i'll be dry!

See yaz then!
