What is ClubGP?

Our unique “loyalty” club gives you the opportunity to enjoy exclusive benefits, including getting on the ‘inside’ a GP team! Thanks to the commitment of Pole Position Travel MotoGP, we are able to offer to selected customers a unique opportunity to be a part of the sport. We sponsor a number of teams and riders in MotoGP; and generally enjoy an ‘insiders’ experience of the sport. We would like to share the benefits of our hard work and sponsorships with our most valued customers. You are invited to join our exclusive ClubGP.

The programme works like a 'frequent flyer' scheme - as you earn 'points' you may redeem these for goods and services.

You earn points merely by booking with us (once you are a member). As you earn more points, you achieve higher levels of membership entitling you to special discounts, opening new rewards and generally being more privileged.

You can 'top up' your points to reach higher levels or simply to bring your score up to sufficient points to redeem for some of our top benefits.

Team guest packages

The ‘star’ benefit of ClubGP is our team guest packages. These ARE UNAVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE – the only way you can gain this unique access to the inner working of MotoGP is through ClubGP membership.

Your appointed day or weekend starts with a private guided tour of the paddock, where you will gain familiarity with the main elements behind the scenes of a race weekend. We then take you to the team pit where you will be able to see the bikes and mechanics up close. You will be introduced to the team and riders and have an opportunity for photos/signatures. You will also be able to visit the team’s hospitality unit where you can enjoy a drink or refreshments; or just watch the action on the CCTV.

You are also free to explore on your own. You will be briefed on where you can and cannot go; and in any case you need to be careful not to interfere with the activities. The paddock pass does not generally grant admittance to spectator areas (there are usually special paddock spectator areas, but by and large these are not great!) – you will need to purchase an ordinary standing, grandstand or (recommended) VIP Village ticket. You will receive special team merchandise, posters and usually other ‘goodies’, and if you are on a race day or weekend package, you will be able to retain your paddock pass as a souvenir!

Also, thanks to our support of the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup all ClubGP team guest members may have a guided tour of the Rookies paddock and meet the riders (for events where the Rookies run).

If you take up one of our unique team guest weekends, you may also select your supported team/rider, subject to very limited availability. There are two tiers:

  • 125/250: General access to paddock, no access to MotoGP paddock. Pits may not be in the main pit building
  • MotoGP: Access also to the MotoGP paddock. Pits and hospitality generally of superior standards. A noted above, there is a supplement for MotoGP teams (where available)

Needless to say, places on these, especially the MotoGP, are VERY LIMITED. You must request as far ahead as possible; and we cannot guarantee a particular team for a particular event.

How to join?

Simply complete our membership application form; or call us and we can enroll you.
