.....Excitered
....

Re: Moto GP Camping?
Are you saying it's $960 for a camp site for 4 nights for up to 4 people at the caravan park? FMD, that's un-fucking-believably-fucking-expensive
At the supers we pay about half that for a cabin for 4 nights.
Still, I'm not sure I could survive 4 days in the cage at the track .... they have warned you about the cage haven't they Disco ?

Fark if those prices are right I'm glad I'm going to the Malaysian MotoGP this year, it's costing me $2000 for return flights, transfers, accom and 3 days VIP entry into the track!

Re: Moto GP Camping?
GP track camping has two options, Trackside and Highside. Trackside has a sign on the fence that says, "Do not feed the animals", which is pointless coz in there eatin' is cheatin'. Highside is far more relaxed, there's guys in campers with big screen TVs, Kids are running about, and most people even have clothes on
Camping at the track, you can wander back to smuggle more beer in. You can wake up drunk and get to the track legally. Beer is breakfast.

Re: Moto GP Camping?
<- this is the biggest thing i regretted about staying Trackside at the superbikes last year, that aside it was still pretty good though, and mighty convenient (aside from the wind nearly killing my tent). That being said, of the two, it's much of a muchness, having done both.Blurr wrote:trackside is OK but after the races all the action is at Cowes
I'd be considering it too.Frank wrote:Fark if those prices are right I'm glad I'm going to the Malaysian MotoGP this year, it's costing me $2000 for return flights, transfers, accom and 3 days VIP entry into the track!
bingo! though I've never gone south for a GP, only superbikes, so can't vouch for how in/out of control it usually is when the GP circus comes to town.photomike666 wrote:GP track camping has two options, Trackside and Highside.

Re: Moto GP Camping?
The cage is the fence they put up around trackside - ostensibly it's to keep the public out of the campsite, but everyone knows it's to keep the animals in the cage
