Silverstone, easily the worst spectator track ever. Valencia a great track to see 80% of the track from pretty much any seat.

I know, but its motogp equivelant to monaco. All commentators say is its virtually impossible to overtake. Isnt that the point of racing though. Went misano few years ago, sat where them 3 real fast kinks are and it was unreal seeing them tgrough there

I’d love to see them handling 250+bhp crotch rockets with few rider aids. Aero is minor IMO, but the electronics packages are what separate the teams these days.

Regarding Silverstone as posted above, not for me, I live 8 miles from the circuit and wish I didn’t. We have lots of better circuits for racing in this country

to watch MotoGP, I’d be travelling to Europe without doubt for a better overall experience

I just can't get excited about soulless bikes or cars..for me motorsport is for all my senses and rhe electric falls short of that. The noise is half the thrill of motorsport and the smell of the fuel and oil... but yes we are all different

Totally agree. The sound of the over run cackling into a corner and then poweing away is something else

Come back Donington. Camped every year from 87 to when the circuit lost the GP and haven't been to one since. Great memories of fun on the campsite. Burnouts, donuts, wheelies, campfires, fireworks all mixed with alcohol

oooh and the racing was good too

You'll be surprised by the electric bikes, we saw them at misano last year.

Very quick and close racing being all one make. Just need to listen for a gust of wind when they're approaching!

They're a covers band like Big Me.

The lead singer was on the voice.

No he didn't but then again they were throwing toilet rolls that were pretty heavy. The band that headlined Sunday were better.

Woodlands was better than i thought although scaled down. Did you see that Wheelie bin on a golf cart going around? It was cool.
