Well while we're on the subject, how easy is it to get motogp tickets, and what are prices like?

Still for sale on Silverstone site. General admission for race-day (no grandstand seat) is £55 each plus £6 postage/booking if bought online. Extra £2.50 if ordered over phone.

MotoGP at silverstone does NOT get my vote.

Watch the bikes come flying past in 30 seconds, and then don't see them again for another 2 minutes........ Same goes for the cars. Worst circuit in the UK for watching IMO.


Best viewing track i'd say is Brands Hatch. But no major major events on this year :(
