We have had an unprecedented number of advance enquiries for Mugello 2018, speculatively taking place on 3/June/18. Rumours that this may be Rossi's last Mugello may have something to do with this, or simply the fact that this is the most insane event in Europe!

Best of all, we have retained 2017 prices for early-birds!

We have all our packages now available for booking.
Tickets may ONLY be purchased with packages at this point, until new prices are confirmed by the organisers. Tickets have remained at last year's prices so this is certainly an incentive to purchase now!
Plan your holidays around this one! We expect Catalunya to be the following weekend -- a great 'double header'!
OR -- perhaps even more exciting -- take on Mugello then head to the Isle of Man for another dose of sheer lunacy at the TT!!![[ID: 16467] (credit: Cormac Ryan Meenan (Pole Position Travel))](https://images.polepositiontravel.com/events/624/mugello17_CRM-12_800.jpg)
Rossi will be there along with the berserk fans!![[ID: 13841] (credit: Pole Position Travel)](https://images.polepositiontravel.com/events/465/gallery/iomtt15-6_600.jpg)

Our package includes:
- 4 nights B&B at the #1 Hotel in the Island
- Airport pickup and drop off
- Welcome drink with special guests
- Saturday 'hedgerow' viewing (see below) - 180mph bikes a grass blade away

The reception, chaired by Niall MacKenzie, always brings 5-8 current British riders of all classes. Anyone purchasing one of our "Team Experience" products in the paddock may add this reception for just £1. We are mad.

The reception includes beer, wine & soft drinks; and concludes with an auction of amazing merchandise and experiences in benefit of the charity One Step at a Time - assisting parents of disabled children in the UK.
An opportunity for photos/autographs follows the panel session.
You may book just the reception (worth it just for the beer!) or add the 5* dinner following (with more wine and special guests!). The reception on its own is £39 or with the dinner, £99. This is INCLUDED in our Deluxe package, and half price for our Classic package
However, we want to get as many aficionados to this event and especially the charity auction as possible; so we are making a very special offer:
FOR A LIMITED TIME ONLY -- If you book a Team Experience product with us (MotoGP or Pole Position Club) you may add this reception for just £1. Yes, ONE POUND.
The guys you meet on Friday night, you will see inside the paddock on Saturday!

4 nights over "Mad Sunday" taking in the first two race days
4 nights over the latter half of "Race Week" taking in the final two days including Sr Race Day on Friday
or opt for 8 nights to take it all in!
Our packages are
- Superior package at the Sefton Hotel on the Douglas Promenande (our most popular)
- Deluxe package in the Claremont - the best hotel on the Island
- "Essentials" package in a 3* hotel near the airport

Doors open at 19:00 for a roughly 19:30 programme start. This is INCLUDED for all package guests (www.polepositiontravel.com/sepang/packages) -- others may book separately, see link below.![[ID: 16225] (credit: Pole Position Travel)](https://images.polepositiontravel.com/news/219/Jerez17 Podium-3_800.jpg)
