yes. it says SATURDAY & SUNDAY but the fine print says "Free Entry on 11 October 2013"

need to know this though; are DSLRs with multiple lenses allowed inside? I'll be at moving around and my seats are at the Main Grandstand.

Ok, well i'm not sure about it, but as far as I remember I did notice a few guys carrying such cameras. Notice the guy in the pic below:

This is in the main grand stand. However, I'm not sure if there is any special permission or token you have to purchase for this. So for that clarification you can contact the authorities via email.

ah thanks! and yea, that does look like a DSLR.

Re: MotoGP 2013 Season - Updates

Yep ear plugs are must, they have disclaimer that pregnant women or children below 1yr should avoid coming to a gp weekend. Though we are none of the above, but I had a headache when I came back from QP on Saturday. So even if you wanna have a dose of the screaming engines, it's always safe to take a set of plugs even if you don't wanna use it.

Cant agree more, I went for the Singapore F1 race night last Sunday (desi style - watching from nearby shopping malls :-) ) and got a chance to go really close to the track. The noise was so painful without earplugs. Heck, even opening the mouth when they were passing by was discomforting

The only way Pedrosa can win if Marquez has DNFs in a couple of races (Championship I meant).. Seems unlikely, this guys is effortlessly smashing lap records.

Feel bad for Pedrosa

, But its racing,the better rider wins..

Re: MotoGP 2013 Season - Updates

By the way, most of us will be here in this discussion next year as well, I would be planning for the next year's Sepang GP or Qatar GP. But Sepang seems more probable since I can't arrange the funds in just 5-6 months. So if anyone's thinking about the same we can go together and ask for discount on tickets when we book.

@Braumabull: Malaysia is closer to Bangalore/Goa compared to New Delhi

what say?

Marc live in action would be a treat to the eyes.

If I seriously start saving (

Yeah and we'll be the first ones to do it. Let's get back to this same topic next year beginning and see if we can make this possible.

being a mechanical engineer by qualification I knew about this, but it's still amazing to see it in practical.

Knew about the contact patch - there's a video on that but, I was under the assumption that MM's 63 was the highest.

I actually don't know if MMs lean angle is greater or not, but since he hangs a lot more than any of the other riders, it does give the impression of lean angle being greater.

Fp2 over, Champ leads the pack

Position	Rider
1	Jorge
2	Marc
3	Dani
4	Bautista
5	Rossi
6	Bradl
7	Cal
8	Dovi
9	Hayde
10	Smith
11	Iannone
12	Espargaro
13	Aoyoama

Re: MotoGP 2013 Season - Updates

Looks like Lorenzo-Marquez battle isn't just reserved for Sunday but, for Friday and Saturday as well. Rossi might be chuckling inside the helmet recalling the golden rule during his prime days - save it for the race. Sure, the times have changed.

Maria (F) in Moto3 goes 10th in FP. Impressive stuff for anybody on a (first) wild card! And another, Ana does 14th! Ooooo...

Re: MotoGP 2013 Season - Updates

^yeh seriously, riders doing so well in a wild card outing is impressive.
Any idea if they too are Spanish? Looks like Spain has gone way ahead of Italy in producing fast riders.
Hope to se more female riders, would be great to have glamour and speed on and off the tracks..hehe..

I found this quite interesting as well... Another female rider in the feeder class...

As the above article suggests, she's from the CEV as well (won the last race), so safe to assume she's Spanish
