The Valencia 2010 Irish Invasion

All-In-one tour to the valencia motogp!

Join the 'Irish Armada' for a very special trip to a MotoGP event that has become something of a tradition with Irish GP fans: the 2010 Grand Prix of Valencia!

Every year we organise a very special charity fund raiser in benefit of Down Syndrome Ireland. This occurs on the Friday night at the start of the Valencia MotoGP weekend; and we are proud to have raised in excess of €20,000 over the past three years. In 2009 our special guest Eugene Laverty gave a great account of his success as the runner-up in the 2009 World SuperSport championship, we showed some humorous picture of him in action, and we auctioned some truly amazing items such as a shirt signed all the MotoGP riders, a VIP weekend in the paddock with Eugene at the Portimao WSB event, a weekend in Silverstone, paddock passes for Valencia, a Rossi-signed copy of the 'banned' Laguna Seca 2009 poster; and a unique photo book of Marty Finnegan (only one of 8 in existence). A fun time was had by all!

Perhaps because Valencia is such a party weekend, we always get a huge turnout of Irish fans (now why is that?!) If you need any more convincing see our video, mostly shot in Valencia. This year we have decided to help our friends in Ireland plan a fantastic weekend at a great price at this iconic event!

Note on the grandstands: Valencia is a 'dry' circuit, the ONLY place you can get a beer while at the track is in the VIP Village or the hospitality suite. You can exit the circuit (c. 10 minute walk from grandstand) to purchase and consume beers off-track. You may not bring in food or drink to the circuit, although enforcement is pretty light on matters such as plastic bottles of mineral water. Cases of beer will probably not be permitted. Video cameras are also strictly forbidden.
