And they're off! 2024 moto season on the start grid!

This weekend sees the first event of the season as the Superbikes roar in Phillip Island!

Sales for 2024 in all tournaments, MotoGP, SBK and Isle of Man are the best in our 21 year history - proving we are finally emerging from the long shadow of Covid, Brexit and the various issues over the past 3-4 years! We have been super busy over the past 3 months!

And what anticipation! In MotoGP we have Marc Marquez joining his brother in our partner team Gresini; new developments from all manufacturers, and new events at exciting venues such as Kazakhstan in MotoGP and Hungary in SBK (we run tours to both). Speaking of Superbikes - with Jonathan and Toprak moving to new manufacturers, the Lowes brothers competing head to head, and new teams and riders; the season promises to be thrilling - as hopefully we will learn this weekend!

We kick off with possibly one of our most interesting opening dinners ever at Qatar, featuring the founder and designer of the Lusail circuit, and a look forward to how MotoGP can promote itself in the future.

Other highlights include a new package in Assen right in the heart of the city and famous festival; our stunning VIP suite in Texas which is joint with American Veterans charity; a new tour in Aragon based in a lovely medieval mill just 30 minutes from the track; a tour to the Czech SBK in a 15th century castle (and £1.35 beer!); a tour to India in a magnificent 5* hotel; an idyllic Malaysian 'hotel on stilts'; and of course our famous tour to the Ducati factory on Monday following both the Misano SBK and Misano MotoGP! And we have opened a new package after our sellout at the Isle of Man TT!

Please note:
* Portimao - our biggest European event in 2023 - nearly sold out
* Jerez MotoGP down to last 2 rooms
* Isle of Man TT package bookings close 1/March
* Texas VIP prices go up 1/March
* Aragon MotoGP packages nearly sold out (and we have a new tour to Aragon SBK!)

Some staff notes for our regular customers: Sadly Jannet (with whom Gordon has run the company since COVID) has been on extended sick leave since September, and following a January relapse is now away indefinitely. We pray for her return to health. However we are happy to report the recruitment of Chris Bailey as our new operations manager, Zoe Gray as our new sales manager, and we welcome back Alexi King who is heading up Superbikes and management of several key events. We will also be joined by our regular ace guides Tomoko, Radek and introducing Karolina following Mugello.

Also please note we have moved the business back to the UK and now operate as Pole Position Travel ltd based in Edinburgh. Otherwise it is business as usual - just please note new bank details on invoices issued after 1/1
