The Weekly Driver doesn’t offer stray from automotive topics, but there’s announcement in the international motorcycle circuit worthy of attention.
Last year, after more than 20 years of periodically covering motor sports at Laguna Seca Raceway — CART racing to the World Motorcycle Championships — I attended the Red Bull U.S. Grand Prix for the first time.
I was taken aback by the sport’s popularity and equaly impressed with the poise of the international field of riders.
This year, the MotoGP, the world’s
most prestigious motorcycle circuit, again has only two United States races, including the Red Bull U.S. Grand Prix at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca in Monterey, July 18-20.
One day prior, the event will showcase its charity side at is best. Fifty MotoGP fans can pay $500 each for a special ticket that will give them an insiders’ day into the sport — meeting riders to a ride along the Big Sur coast near the championship’s venue. It’s part of a charity called Riders For Health.
For motorcyle enthusaists with interest global charitiy, it seems like a good thing. For more information, visit my longer article: MotoGP Special Charity Ticket.
