MotoGP camping question

Post by DaveGPz »

Been to the GP a few times, marshalled the ride a few times, so thinking about camping at the track. Does the accommodation cost at trackside ($125) include access to the GP?

No, you have to buy a 3 day General Admission pass before they will sell you a camping ticket.

Plus a ZX7 & a few ZXR Ls & ZX9 Bs & Cs in various stages of completion.

Right - so that's 125 + 160 x 2. 570 bucks for one night for two people. Hmmm. Might go to a caravan park somewhere, enjoy the ride, avoid the cops and watch it on the TV then.

I'm going to Sepang to watch the GP, airfares were about $570 for two of us and three day admission to a covered grandstand is $80 for 2, ($5.70 per day if you don't want a seat and Friday is free) a Hotel for a week is $250 and the food is very cheap. Ten days in Malaysia is cheaper than a week in Melb for me, Fuck spending all my hard earned at PI ... $20 for 2 coffees and toast sandwiches!

Damn, that is a cheap trip away.... costs me just under 2 grand to go to PI for the week. Who did you book flights with?
