We are going to see all the European races in the 2012 Moto GP calender. It was just from a random coment whilst sat at Dunkerque after going to see the race last year at Le Mans. What if we purchased a motorhome and toured to all the races in one season. After lots of looking we bought our Frankia. Tickets have been sorted. The ferries are booked.
Now the fun part planning the routes between each track. We are planning to do no more than about 150/250 miles a day we will detour to sight see as this is a holiday as well. First ferry booked 16 April return 22 November.
We will have to be at the race track the day before the first practice day to collect our tickets. Has anyone taken their motorhome to any of the tracks?
Would like to stay on aires etc as cheaply as possible. We expect to have to stay at sites with more facilities during the trip for EHU, laundry etc.
Our route is Dunkerque, Jerez, Estoril, Le Mans, Barcellona, Silverstone, Assen, Germany(track not confirmed), Mugello, Bruno, San Marino, Aragon, Valencia,Dunkerque.
We are flying home from Bruno and Valencia so are also looking for storage for the motorhome at these 2 locations for approx 1 month each time.
As first timers all hints, tips and suggestions welcome
Personally, having been to a number of races over the years, 'cause I love the atamosphere, nowadays I prefer to watch them on the box because you see much more of the race.
Having said that I'm sure it will be an adventure you'll never forget.
Good luck!
I'll be looking out for your blog and probably feel really envious.
Hi, I'am going to the first 3 motogp's,also in a Frankia.Probably leaving on the 20th for a saunter down to Jerez,then picking the wife up at Faro to go to Estoril. I'am hoping to stay at the official site at Jerez then Guincho for Estoril,not decided where to stay for Le Mans.
Went to the San Marino Motogp a few years ago. Stayed at camping Riccoine nearby in Rimmini. Circuit within walking or cycling distance. At the time there was no shortage of free public transport (bus) to and from the track on the Saturday and the Sunday.
The site was excellent and quiet as the holiday season is coming to a close. Opportunity to get EHU and catch up with those necessary chores.
Rimmini worth a visit.
Have you considered keeping a blog of your travels which could be used as a reference for others who may follow in your tracks.
do you need a baggage boy ?. Love to see Casey Stoner get right up the Ducati team who did not give him the support he had deserved, after winning the 2007 title for them. Why not add Phillip Island Australia, some good sightseeing on the way!. We came over and saw the 2011 IOM tt using a Bilbo's T5 camper van for a 3 months trip, a bit small, but still enjoyable. Go number 27 [1] the 'Stoner Express'.
Assen camping is set up in small fields near to the circuit specially for Assen TT they can be noisy and boisterous.
Commercial site we have used is

Book well in advance. Just a short bike ride away. or over the road set up for the weekens is Camping Sudosa. Better regulated than most of the other temporary sites. Good fascilities and a few EHU for early bookers

We are giving it a miss this year.

Jazzlover, I see that you are Australian (well at least registered as being there) so can understand your allegiance and I would not doubt or argue that Stoner is an exceptional talent BUT he IS the most spoilt, whineing, whingeing brat in the paddock. He is able to ride most any bike quicker than any other person and is also the quickest to moan / complain about others getting in his way or sulk when the team can't find the right set up for him.
That said back to the OP, I wish you well with your tour and am sure you'll enjoy every minute of it, as others have said let us know how you get on.

John ,you're right, totally biased. Spoilt he is not! Did it the hard way . Family sold everything to get to the UK. Lived in a tent,and roughed it for years until he got noticed. Worked up from the bottom. It must be Pedrosa or Lorenzo you are getting mixed up with. After all, Stoner is getting only half the money that Rossi getting, and considerably less than the other two. Stoner is a straight talker,tells it like he sees it.Upset many poms when he said at Silverstone "the tracks sh-t" "the weather's sh-t"'He does his talking on the track. It's going to be a interesting season.
My reference to being spoilt refers to his more recent years, you should have noticed I have great admiration to his riding skills but since becoming "established" he has become a spoilt s**t! lashing out (in more ways than one) at any anyone or thing that displeases him. He is not unique in the way he got where he is though, there are many riders of all nationalities that toughed it out at the beginning of their career (and many well into it), only made possible by family assistance. If you wish to continue the discussion perhaps a new thread would be a good idea.
Once again apologies for going off of the original topic.
