2010 calendar updated

FIM has issued an updated 2010 MotoGP calendar. The events Le Mans (+1 week), Mugello (+1 week), Silverstone (+2 weeks) and San Marino (-1 week) have changed. (Brno has NOT changed, and remains on 15/Aug, contrary to the original FIM press release on 10.11. As the top agents for Brno, we recieved news of this directly from the circuit this morning)

While we HOPE this will be the final calendar, it is not yet ratified as final by FIM. Of the three events that fall during the World Cup (Silverstone, Assen and Catalunya) only Silverstone is likely to clash (Assen has been the last Saturday in June since the Stone Age, and Catalunya on 4/July falls on a rest day). If you want to be absolutely safe, don't book flights until the final calendar is published - we will be happy to hold your booking in this case. At any rate we offer a full refund in the event of a date change and you cannot make it.

The calendar is on our website, or download one suitable for your 'fridge magnet here.

MotoGP tests

In 2009 we organised tours to the tests at Jerez, Brno and Valencia. These proved to be immensely popular and a great way to see riders and teams in action without the huge crowds and stresses. Our tours feature transport, paddock access, pit tours and meetings with riders and experts to help understand what is happening inside MotoGP.

We will continue this in 2010 with tours to the independent test events in Malaysia and Qatar**; and the post-event tests tentatively scheduled for Jerez and Brno.

If you are interested, put these dates in your schedule and contact us for details:

• 4-5 Feb, Sepang
• 21-22 Feb, Sepang
• 14-15 Mar, Qatar
• 3 May, Jerez
• 16 Aug, Brno
• 9 Nov, Valencia

**overseas tours will be unguided unless sufficient numbers book. Jerez and Brno events to be confirmed. We understand the traditional test at Catalunya will be canceled.

Valencia, Sepang & Phillip Island

Full reports and photos will be provided for these events shortly. See all past events on our web site.

The year ended on a high with our tour to the Valencia MotoGP. Our Friday Charity.GP bash featured World SuperSport vice-Champion Eugene Laverty and raised in excess of €8500 for the charity Down Syndrome Ireland. Great show all!

A number of guests enjoyed hospitality in the Paddock with our partner team San Carlo Honda Gresini, and Tuesday a group visited the MotoGP test with all the new teams and riders, with a real inside look at 2010... Already a number of customers have rebooked for 2010!

We stood under the podium at Sepang to see Rossi celebrate his 9th world championship. This was a brilliant culmination to a weekend kicked off by our Friday opening party with guest speaker the spellbinding Jeremy Burgess. This is truly one of the magic events in MotoGP - several people followed the weekend with a visit to the beautiful island of Penang...

At Phillip Island we were entertained off track by Wayne Gardner, and were honoured by a visit to our hospitality suite by legend Mick Doohan. Organised visits to those cuties at the Penguin Parade, as well as virtually unique paddock access from our hospitality customers meant all had a spectacular weekend!
