Pictures from Last Year |
Gran Premio San Marino 2008
Misano circuit 2007 will be known as the place where Rossi finally decisively lost his world championship hopes. A shame, since the circuit is closest to his home town of Tavullia and his fans turned out in droves! Will they be back? Will Rossi be out for revenge? Does the Pope live in Rome?
Last year this was rate our most fun event -- and this year promises to be better, with an atmosphere that will border on pandemonium. Unlike most other destinations, the Italians go MotoGP mad and this spreads throughout the town, nightlife and people. Riccione - the lovely beach town that we are based - hosts a week long MotoGP pavilion, bars and restaurant flaunt number 46 flags, and one gets the distinct feeling that the entire population migrates to the track in the morning and the town in the evening. To say this is a passionate place would be an understatement, as discovered by one of our reps who rather foolishly wore a Casey Stoner Tshirt on the trip to Tavullia!
San Marino is one of our bigger events, with local Italian and English speaking staff, several coaches and hotels, and of course our renown parties. We offer four packages for the weekend, with something for everyone! A Classic package puts you in a cozy 3* Hotel in Riccione, our Superior is in one of our 4* hotels and is our party HQ, and for VIPs we have a brilliant Deluxe Package in the sublime 5* Hotel des Bains. Finally, if you really want to make a special weekend (and great for VIPs), we have an all-inclusive Connoisseur's package at a delightful 4*+ boutique hotel in Cattolica - guests there last year did not want to leave! Speaking of VIP: We have of course the VIP Village , and this year we add the great value Pole Position Club with private grandstand, catering and our private pit & paddock tours .
Viewing is excellent, with many TV screens and some excellent spots. Grandstands A & B are covered and reserved seating, which of course makes them quite attractive, but you actually get a better view from the cheaper unreserved grandstand D at the exit of the longest straight into the downhill tight triple right. The whole circuit only holds about 60,000 people, so we do urge early purchase. It will sell out.
Fears of traffic last year did not materialise. We time our coaches to miss the worst of the traffic, as well as get special access to the circuit - last year we dropped customers virtually right on the grandstands!
Finally, we round out the weekend with several special events: on Friday evening we have our traditional welcome party, with guest speakers (last year we had an entire team!); Sunday a traditional Italian dinner which turned into a great post-event party (many guests ending up at the riders' party at the local disco!); and a VERY special trip Monday to the Ducati factory in Bologna.
