Re: Brno Moto GP trip - Phil - 07-08-14
I've been to Brno twice, once for MotoGP in 2003 and WSB 2010 and really enjoyed both. MotoGP was packed, WSB wasn't at all, both times were scorching hot.
2003 we lucked out with accommodation and got somewhere within walking distance of the track at local rates, and made full use of the cheap beer at the track. Good food trackside too. We watched from area 'C', the big steeply banked area where a lot of people head for. Take/borrow a spade from someone to dig yourself a ledge to sit in to stop yourself sliding down the bank.
WSB is was far to hot to walk anywhere far so watched from the bottom of horsepower hill, area 'E'. Good view with few people there but might not be so good when packed.
Have a great time.

Jealous! Loved Brno as a town and the track is wonderful for viewing!
Horsepower hill as mentioned is really nice to hear the acceleration, on some bikes you can 'feel de bass'! :-)
Don't bother looking at the ladies, they're not pretty at all. Honest. :lol

Re: Brno Moto GP trip - Phil - 19-08-14
You're staying at Colditz! Fantastic! I visited there on the way back from Lausitzring WSB in 2005 when they had already started restoring the place, about half done.
Hows the tunnel coming along?

The Brno race was a good one. The Moto3 highlights were about 30 seconds on ITV4, the race looked a classic.
Re: Brno Moto GP trip - slimwilly - 20-08-14
Yes Phil, a great experience stating in Colditz, and ten we moved onto the Nurberg ring, and yes i did do a lap and filmed it,,i loved it.
Re: Brno Moto GP trip - slimwilly - 21-08-14
