We'll be there from tomorrow through till Sunday, so if passing the exhibition centre you could pop into the paddock there & come & say 'hi' :)
We'll be out in the Junior Powerbike class #9 with Tango Monster 800 & the GP1/Supertwin race #36 with BigBike 1098s - both orange/white & purple.

Timetable for the weekend is here: http://www.thundersportgb.com/index.php?option=com_docman&task=cat_view&gid=909&Itemid=99

I was up there last year and I don't think that I'll be back this year.
The facilities were terrible last year. It was expensive to get in and there were harldy enough toliet facilities, the spectator areas were poorly maintained, the big screens were all in the wrong places (you had to look away from the track to watch them) and to top it all off - Who thought that builders fencing was going to hold back a 100,000 strong crowd at a major international event? Vale went passed on his final laps a the stupid (excuse me) Motherf****rs who don't even respect these machines went running on to the track. All they wanted to see was Valentino. Poor guy was nearly beaten to death. The British GP last year was the laughing stock of the calendar. Shame becuase I love motoGP and I like the track but I probably won't go until next year when it moves to Silverstone.
Have fun anyway buddy! GO VALE GO!! :D

I'm coming along...but only for the sunday. Although not really from the london direction... haha

Just hoping, praying, and begging for sunshine now. Even just dry will do...

Think this is going to to be great one this year. Rossi has always said that he considers this to be his second home track... and with the form he is on now, combined with the fact that this is the last year of the British GP at Donny... I'm sure he will be trying everything to go out with a bang

I was lucky enough to go to Mugello a couple of years ago its the most atmospheric race track
I've ever been to it was simply the best. Makes Dony look very poor. That being said
I've scorded some posh tickets to Dony so I'm going.

Did anyone who went to Donnington see if the Norton Rotary ran in the Thundersport? They were hoping to after failing to qualify in the TT.

Yep - they were both in our race - bit odd as all 3 on the front of the grid havent raced in the series this year to date. Nortons did look good in their silver livery :)

Full report here: (GP1 class near the bottom - and we even get a mention!)
