Post subject: MotoGP 2008 Season

Kicks off this weekend! Very Happy

The opening round will be The Grand Prix of Qatar at the losail circuit, this will be a historic night race with Aussie rider Casey Stoner defending the title.

The racing should start about 10p.m on Sunday with the MotoGP being aired at 1a.m. I will head to Big Bamboo with a few others to watch if anyone is interested.

How are the ticket prices for MotoGP as compared to F1? The formula 1 race was a bit of a splurge for me but I would also like to catch MotoGP as well. I hope the tickets are less.

Also, anywhere know where I can find more information on the race? The Shanghai circuit website is just useless.

Ticket prices are slightly cheaper than F1, as it is not as busy with spectators, we paid around 300 RMB for a seat on the B stand section (first turn).

Like the F1 and A1 tickets are easily bargained for outside of the circuit from the many scalpers.

We will organize a booze bus for May 4th when the boys are in town. Watch this space!
