Can anyone recommend a good site for buying some tickets for next years British Moto GP, I realise they probably wont be on sale yet, but I could at least sign up and get notified when they do.

Ive had a look through google, but just wondered if anybody has used any companies in particular that they could recommend.

Cheers.

If you've not been before, prepare yourself for queuing the likes of which you have never seen.

Also make sure you spend some time at the end of the main straight - the one with the (formerly) Dunlop Bridge on it - seeing them on the brakes into the chicane with the back wheel skipping across the tarmac is incredible. You're very close to the track at that bit of the circuit.

I always sit there. it's called Foggys chicane.

Pre-order your tickets then the queue for collection is a lot, lot less.

But be prepared to sit in the rain ALL day.

Now I know, cheers for that!

As for the queuing, I was talking about the roads from the M1! It's giving me a cold shudder just thinking about it!

yeah, getting out is a nightmare, even on my bike. i tend to put the Tomtom on the tank and whizz off on the back roads.

Yes, get ready to queue! It took over three hours to get out of the carpark on Sunday evening when I left this year. Was a good weekend though!

I'd recommend getting into the track as the gates open (7am this year) to secure your spot - you'll also miss the worst of the queues that way.

I think you can "print your own tickets" from the Donington website now - saves the handling charge AND beats the collection queue.

You more than likely will need waterproofs and something warm. I don't ever rememberbeing so cold in summer.

T'was good though.
