The hotel is home to teams and top VIPs, so the excitement doesn't stop at the track.

The Le Mans VIP Village is one of the more unique on the tournament. Situated on the infield with a great view over the "Les 'S' Blues" big sweeper, you get a long panoramic view of the riders. Of course you can follow the rest of the action on the closed circuit TVs in the luxury pavilion, but for real excitement, signup for a service road tour and go around the track (best when the bikes are running!) - this is one of the few European venues where this is possible without winning the tour. Paddock tours and pit lane walks are also featured, and of course great food and open bar. The rest of Le Mans is manic, entering into the VIP Village is like a sanctuary. And of course we will be there to help make it all that little bit extra special! 66 Full VIP Village with paddock tours, pit lane walks, and the brilliant Service road tours. Full catering and our rep on hand VIP Village

We have an exclusive (25 people only) private air conditioned suite right over the pits (access to the pit roof terrace) with a view onto the start grid for the top comfort and VIP viewing.

993 6 Mugello MotoGP Tickets http://images.ec1.com/products/993/mugello-grid.jpg Always the race with the biggest 'buzz' of the tournament, probably because the Italians are such moto fanatics! This event ALWAYS sells out, book early! All grandstands have TV view, also visible from parts of the standing areas. However, be warned: this event gets crowded like no other, we strongly recommend grandstands if you don't want to fight for your spots! Centrale is excellent to view the start/finish and the podium (always a mad rush after Rossi wins!) and it is covered. Materassi has a decent view, but for our money the Poggio Secco is the top grandstand with wide panoramic views and usually the Valentino Rossi fan club to help cheer! We can sell 2 or 3 day tickets; or one day for Prato only. As always we are there - our Italian-speaking team helps keep us out of trouble! 67
1186 6 Florentine Evening Join us in celebration of another great Italian GP weekend with our winding down dinner at a classic trattoria.

1027 7 Catalunya MotoGP Tickets http://images.ec1.com/products/1027/planogp.gif Catalunya justifiably deserves its reputation as the best run circuit in MotoGP. It has it all - a great track, superb facilities and possibly the best viewing experience of the season. All tickets give you 3 days general access to the circuit; and the venue has been designed for ease of movement with plentiful bridges and tunnels, and many superb vantage points. It is also about the best TV'd, it is hard to find a spot where you can NOT see a big screen! This really is a circuit that leaves you spoiled for choice: where to watch the race from? We can sell all stands, but we recommend a few: Main for start/finish and podium view (it is covered, can be a blessing in the Catalan sun!); F for the notorious turn 1, and A as they exit the turn with a critical acceleration point; I is our recommendation on the last curve, and covered; however you see more action from C, G & B on the great north loop. Finally infield M is both covered & a good base for further wandering. 68

Donington has a lovely VIP Village right at the first (Redgate) corner and away from the crowds. As probably the largest VIP contingent (as we are for most events), we will have staff right in the VIP Village to be on hand for any questions, rumours, press releases, etc. This in addition to our usual 'extras' that add a lot of value to an already super package: pit lane walks, paddock tours, luxury catering, open bar, free programme, race reports, closed circuit TVs, superb viewing, access to most of the rest of the track, and perhaps best of all the camaraderie of fellow VIP moto fans; you'll understand why our customers say "once you've gone VIP there is no going back!"

1113 8 British MotoGP Tickets http://images.ec1.com/products/1113/trackside.jpg You can be certain that the British motoGP will be a thriller. Donington is unusual in that it doesn't have a lot of reserved grandstand seating, so early purchase is essential. We feature the covered Redgate Corner stand in our packages, but of course you can also select the Start (uncovered) or standing. The general admission/standing areas give excellent viewing (we like the area around Fogarty Esses) but can get quite crowded on race day, so arrive early and stake out a good spot. Tickets for all weekend or just race day available. Get the weekend, and show up Thursday for the Riders for Health Day of Champions! (and while our tickets get you close to the track, unlike our happy customers pictured they don't get you ON it!)

1183 8 Donington Opening Party http://images.ec1.com/products/1183/vip-backstage.jpg We have parties at all MotoGP events, but without doubt one of the best in 2007 was our Donington opening party. Starting low key with drinks and a buffet, we will have a special guest speaker give some insight into the GP season. It may end there, but for those of you wanting to make a night of it, we will then repair to the rock concert at the Donington circuit (one of the advantages of staying so close to the track!), where we sponsor the backstage pits, keeping the roadies and musicians properly oiled, and earning our VIPs some very special seats in the process! Several of our customers ended up ON stage last year, and we were the last to leave... It isn't fancy, but incredible fun!

1024 9 Dutch TT Assen Tickets http://images.ec1.com/products/1024/main-entrance.jpg Assen is the Grand Dame of motorcycle racing, having been staging motorcycle races since 1925, and is the oldest circuit on the tournament. It is a firm favourite of fans and riders alike! Who could forget the epic 2006 battle between the Americans Hayden and Edwards, following Rossi's retirement from injury in practice? Or Rossi's relentless stalking and final overtaking of Stoner (starting from 14th!) in 2007? The track has lots of good viewing areas, but we recommend the Winterdijk on the final straight or Strubben on the first curve. We took some seats in the new Ossebroeken last year, which have great views of the entire north loop and its critical exit. Grandstands are valid for Saturday race day, for Thursday and Friday you have general admission. Assen also has some great concessions and merchandise, so be prepared to shop! And don't miss the street party Friday night! As usual we will be on hand for our customers. 70 Grandstands

We start out with a welcome drink and dinner at the Park restaurant and bar, then we all pile into a coach to take us into Assen town center and point you at the action!

1114 10 German MotoGP tickets http://images.ec1.com/products/1114/viewfromT4.jpg Sachsenring is about the shortest, most technical circuit of the year, with riders fighting hard for every millimeter. You can see why there is action at all points of the circuit. With its hilly, compact terrain there are some brilliant sight-lines; especially from T2 and T4 stands. The back corner at T13 is always a lively spot; catching the bikes on the downhill big left sweeper. Our favourite stand has become T14 -- less crowded with great views in two directions, a TV screen and - heaven - a private beer garden (the ticket price includes food and drink on Sunday!). Finally if you like a start view and join the fans who go wild when Rossi takes it, choose T1. As the best grandstanded circuit of the tournament, this is not one to go standing... And on a trivial note, some of he best food concessions are here - especially if you like bratwurst und bier that is (and we do!) 71

The best value & most fun of the tournament, especially if you join us. As in 2007 we will have a private area at the VIP Village, featuring a guest speaker or two to bring you the inside track of MotoGP. We shower you with special gifts and little tidbits to enhance your experience, run some cool contests, and of course our regulars will welcome the return of the Pole Position umbrella girls! At Brno you get the full works: paddock tours, pit lane walks, and the superb service road tours where you take a car around the track service road, even while bikes are racing! The village has super viewing just over the start grid and of course access to the entire circuit. For our 'high flying' guests we arrange helicopter transfer (complete with on-track limo service!); and can provide further corporate facilities, meeting space and more. This will sell out. 73 The Ultimate motoGP Experience! VIP Village

63 12 Brno MotoGP Tickets http://images.ec1.com/products/63/t1-banner.jpg Brno is a viewers paradise, with good access & vantage points. Generally the grandstands are in two areas: the main straight and the 'Stadium', the iconic downhill double chicane. We are Brno's largest agent and have all tickets. Our suggestions: for pole position, get T3; then T5. Best value seats are T2/Brno, just down track from the start. T4 most comfortable; best viewing overall is the 'C' standing area, but this gets very crowded, so our overall favourite remains T1 which is also the choice of aficionados. We like it so much, we sponsor it! All tickets are valid 3 days, and all grandstands permit access to general admission areas. Only T1, T3, T4, T5, T6 and hospitality permit tunnel access between paddock and T3. The general admission (A/B/D/E/G) do not permit access to the infield; although some areas do have TV views. Great TV views from all tribunes, C standing area & and the new F stand. See also our hospitality club if you want 'better than grandstand' 73

Our Charity.GP gala is a benefit for Riders for Health and is a load of fun. Being a brewery, it is unlimited beer (and wine); and the buffet dinner gets rave reviews. We start with a live music show (in 2007: African dancing). There is a guest speaker or two (Julian Ryder in 2007, Randy Mamola & Steve Parrish in 2006) to share their thoughts on the MotoGP season.

1121 13 Misano VIP Village http://images.ec1.com/products/1121/capirex-vip.jpg The VIP Village at San Marino is an air conditioned infield marquee with CCTV, great food and drink, and views to the main straight and first corner. There is also a private VIP grandstand on the main straight. The usual pit lane walks, paddock tours and the VIP Village game (giving you the opportunity to take service road tours, win merchandise, or sit on the pit wall - one lucky customer last year one this top prize on BOTH Saturday and Sunday!)
Our recommendation: The VIP Village is the best experience of the event, however you are restricted to just the VIP area for viewing. If you want to see more of the circuit, purchase a grandstand G or Prato 2 ticket and you can carry on the bridge and exit into this back area of the track. If you purchase with the VIP ticket, we offer these at discounted rate. 74 VIP Village
1124 13 San Marino Pole Position Club http://images.ec1.com/products/1124/nicky.jpg If you are looking for VIP treatment at half the price, then our Pole Position Club might be just the ticket! We have a tented area behind the 'H' grandstand - an oasis. The chalet features comfortable seating, drinks and snacks, and CCTV so you don't miss a minute of action. We also serve a hot lunch. On Sunday you have a seat in the private H grandstand, very close to the track and a great TV view. Best of all, we run private paddock tours , giving you the unique opportunity to get backstage, visiting the pits of one of our sponsored teams and see the MotoGP circus up close! With our hostesses to assist you, and a delightful 'welcome pack' to enhance your experience, this will be a great way to see this superb event.

1122 13 San Marino MotoGP Tickets http://images.ec1.com/products/1122/07sanmarino20.jpg San Marino circuit holds about 60,000 people, which by European standards is quite small. Therefore tickets all sell out - as they did last year! You may choose standing areas (we sell Prato 2 but you may request 1 or 3) or grandstands. One of the issues is that there is very little mobility with the tickets - you are confined to the stand you choose for all Sat and Sun. We have a unique offer: the Combo ticket . For 2- or 3-day tickets, you choose where you want to sit on Sunday and we will give you a different stand on Saturday. This is definitely the way to go! Select the ticket and then choose the Combo option . Our recommendations: the most comfortable are covered grandstands A and B. C although unreserved seating is right on top of the hairpin so also worth while. But for our money the best viewing comes from the large unreserved D grandstand - catching bikes at the terminus of the back straight fighting for a narrow line going into the treacherous Carro loop. 74
1225 13 San Marino GP Opening Party We look forward to welcoming you to the San Marino MotoGP! On Friday night at the lovely Hotel de la Ville we are hosting an opening reception with drinks and a dinner buffet; with a featured guest (or two) from the paddock to welcome us and give us some insight into the world of MotoGP! In 2007 our guests were an entire 250 privateer team, sharing the trials and tribulations of competing in Grand Prix. Fascinating.
Doors open 1900, at some point we stop paying for the drinks, but that doesn't usually stop the party...!

1735 13 Ducati Factory Visit http://images.ec1.com/products/1735/ducati-lineup.jpg Here's a GREAT excuse to spend that extra day or two on the lovely Rimini coast... Monday after the GP we shoot up to Bologna to visit the legendary Ducati factory and museum. You get to see the bikes in all stages of production, and seeing some of the original bikes raced by Mike Hailwood, Paul Smart and other legends brought tears to my eyes! Okay, I am a moto-geek...
After the visit we stop for lunch; then return in the late afternoon. If interest, all or part of the group can make a detour to Tavullia to see Rossi's home town and official shrine number 46!
74 Day trip to Ducati factory
1142 13 Romagna Night Closing party http://images.ec1.com/products/1142/jules-restaurant.jpg After bikes, our next love is great food & wine, and the "Valentino Rossi" of the gastronomic world is the Italian region of Emilio-Romagna. Celebrate the conclusion of the MotoGP to the Misano circuit in proper style! Sunday night we take you to a classic Italian restaurant where the food and wine will flow, together with our impressions of the weekend. The 2007 closing dinner was magic - our sponsored rider Jules Cluzell turned up with his entire team and we gave him a birthday present. After the dinner, it was off to the local club where a number of riders (yes, including Jules) were found blowing off steam from the great weekend. Someone is bound to turn up this year as well! Oh yes, the food was fab... The perfect cap to a perfect weekend! 74
1211 13 Rimini - Misano Helicopter Transfer http://images.ec1.com/products/1211/misano-heli.jpg What a way to enter the circuit. Hassle free transport that has style of the 21st century.

After a relaxing late breakfast, we take you in a private car to the Rimini airport helipad, where you board the chopper for the 10 minute hop to the circuit. We meet you at that end, and escort you the VIP Village. Same journey in reverse at the end of the day; let us know about what time you want to go and return.

1130 16 Australian MotoGP Tickets http://images.ec1.com/products/1130/grandstand_siberia_south.jpg Phillip Island is the event to which any true motoGP fan must make the pilgrimage at least once in their life. Forget the race for a minute - look at the destination. The Island itself is a multi-faceted nature reserve, with koalas and other wildlife in abundance, and the world famous Penguin parade. It is the end of the Great Ocean Road, one of the world's most scenic drives. The city of Melbourne is simply brilliant; and the Victorians make it a personal mission to make sure that every visitor will never want to leave! Now lets talk about the race! With its first-ever use of the 'hot swap' rule when the rain started mid-GP 2006, this had to be the weirdest race of the season. The viewing around the track is spectacular, you can get very close to the bikes - its hard to know which stand to recommend! All tickets allow you to wander the track, so you decide! With very few hotel rooms, this is one you really want to stay with us on so you can focus on the bikes & beer! 76
1244 16 Phillip Island Friday Opening Party http://images.ec1.com/products/1244/timnut.jpg Start the weekend like you mean to go on with our traditional Opening Party. We will be on the Island where all the action is, but with a beer in our hands. As they have a 'dry island' policy we have made sure that the barrels will be flowing down in our yard. We will be entertained by DJ Tim46 (as pictured) along side the aussie barbie with lashings of dripping red meat. To top that off we will be visited by a special guest or two to get our taste buds wet for the action of the weekend ahead. 76
1245 16 Pole Position Private Penguin Parade http://images.ec1.com/products/1245/penguin-parade_600.jpg The one thing you must do before leaving the island is to witness the tiny waddling penguins retreat back up the beach towards their sand dune burrows. A spectacular that happens every night at the ecotourism centre on Phillip Island. A winner of the Victorian Tourism Awards for Ecotourism, the penguin parade is a truly memorable natural wildlife experience. A coach will take us from the hotel to the centre where we will have a guide to talk us through this wonder as it happens with viewing through binoculars for up-close action on our private beach are. The coach will return for the Wrap-up dinner. Come see who takes pole position of the race of the Little Penguins 76
1755 16 Phillip Island Helicopter Transfer http://images.ec1.com/products/1755/fire_bominja2.jpg Want to miss the traffic and arrive in style? This is a perfect way to transfer to the circuit without having to trawl through the roads and traffic. We will collect you from your hotel in Melbourne and drive you to the helipad where you will be airlifted up above the clouds. Upon landing you will be escorted to the VIP Village to enjoy the race weekend. The price is for a return transfer getting you back to your hotel at the end of the day.

1018 17 Sepang MotoGP Weekend http://images.ec1.com/products/1018/holiday.jpg If you want to combine a holiday with a MotoGP we cannot recommend Sepang strongly enough. Malaysia is a fantastic destination: plan a couple of extra days before or after the GPs at your Sepang hotel or we can send you off to Penang or other great destinations. This is also a great value event; book early, you may be pleasantly surprised at the cost of flights! 2007 was a brilliant weekend: we enjoyed our guest speaker so much we now sponsor him for 2008! (Young British 125cc rider Danny Webb) The package includes 3 nights B&B in a 4*+ hotel, dinner and drinks at Friday night reception, optional Friday track transfers or Kuala Lumpur city tour, and transfers on Saturday and Sunday, with very welcome happy hour (free drinks!) on our return in the evening. Full attention of our guides, cool Sepang 2008 polo shirt, and optional closing dinner round out a perfect Malaysian weekend! Rates quoted are for standard double. Superior & suites also available. 78 Special 4*/3nt
947 17 Sepang Grand Prix VIP Village http://images.ec1.com/products/947/sepang-shirt200.jpg We rate Sepang as the best VIP experience of the tournament. The Malaysian Grand Prix is one of the least well-attended; making the whole experience low key and stress-free. The VIP Village itself sits on top of the pits in a truly luxurious facility. You have access to the entire pit roof giving great views all along the main straight. Free paddock access means you can simply lurk waiting for riders and other notables, who - since there aren't hordes of fans to avoid - frequently stop and chat or sign the odd bit of merchandise. (The photo is one lucky customer who managed to bag a mere 13 motoGP riders on his 'Sepang 2006' shirt). The usual pit walks and VIP Village game (with no competition most of our customers got to sit on the pit wall) are complemented by truly sumptious food and drink. You really will feel privileged to be here! 78 VIP Village
1021 17 Sepang MotoGP Grandstand http://images.ec1.com/products/1021/rossi-clincher.jpg Our Grandstand ticket gives you complete access to all grandstands for the weekend, and a pit lane walk Saturday afternoon. It is open seating, so you can rove to your heart's content! The Mall is the long covered triangular area between the two straights -- it is like a little village, with shops and concessions, and of course good views out either direction.
The best value grandstand tickets in MotoGP; but we warned, it can get hot and humid - dress appropriately!
