Silverstone Motogp, Who's Going?

Discussion in 'Racing & Bike Sport' started by Ben Ely, Jun 25, 2014.

  1. Booked my tickets yesterday in the ducati grandstand (Luffield stand). Really looking forward to it, anyone else here going?
     
  2. Yes. Looking at camping although £60 for the weekend seems a bit extreme..,
     
  3. with one big event a year they rape our wallets with camping and entry tickets for 2 days it just not value for money anymore ,tv gives you a better view of the race without the atmosphere ,,i'm passing as no englishmen is anywhere near competative in all three classes this year ..iwill stick to world supers

  5. Never been mgp and got weekend tickets thru a club I'm in cheap so I'll grin n bear it
     
  6. Hmmm. lost some text... Anyway I was saying camping usually covers Thursday night till Monday morn if you wanna take in practice (and get sloshed race day!) Pretty sure the roving grandstand tickets cover practice too..
    Did the ducati stand in 2012 and although good, not worth the extra imho. roving tickets are cheaper and there's only a few areas you cant access (I like the view from club). If you've not been before take a lil radio with head phones for commentary (also a good reason to blank the Mrs).
     
  7. Yeah I've got roving and put in for leave fri so I can get there and watch practice too
     
  8. Didn't think you could get roving grandstand tickets for race day anymore,
     
    1. Im sure you'll love it. Sure its over priced for food n booze (like every event) but if you go prepared its cool. There's no prob taking your own beer and if you like to bogie the band n dj is on till bout 2 or 3 in the big tent in the lively camp area.
     
  9. Have they changed it this year?
     
  10. Luffield B for us.
    We usually get roving grandstand, but this year i was told it was numbered seating only not roving, so now i can go for a wonder and not lose my seat :upyeah:

  11. Yes I see.. Just had a look. I better get ordering soon it think. I kinda preferred the old (or other) lay out with the start/fin on the international straight and thought they where going back to that this year.. That's put a spanner in things. The duc stand has moved as well eh? (and its sold out)
     
  12. Yep im going but just for Race day and in the Luffield stand too. Hopefully the weather will be good as well as the racing. Wasn't there some sort of Welcome pack for booking early? Cant remember
     
  13. I'm there, if its anything like last year I'll be on the viewing balcony over the new pits. I'm spannering for a mate who's doing the support races so we get the new pits to live in. Thing is they race from the old start line so if its like last year I'll be outside the moto GP garages when they're playing around at the end of the day.
     

  14. Is that a car boot sale?
     
  15. I haven't been to Silverstone since 2006, apart from the circuit layout have the facilities around the track improved?
     
  16. I'm going. Staying in a hotel in Milton Keynes and driving in each day. No kids, Friday through Sunday tickets. Money already saved to spend on dinners, burgers and wine. Very, very excited. Woodcote A for us. Near a big tv on the final corner. Allocated seats and a roof above.
     
  17. Yep going with brother in law and my mate. Driving down on the Saturday nite for Sunday race.

    Sitting in Village A
     
  18. Spectating at Silverstone? You'll need these...
