MotoGP Silverstone. If you havent been you should. TV doesnt get across how fast those bikes are and the sound is something else

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
