    I hope and wish to attend at least 1 full weekend and Moto GP weekend next year with the family

    Moto GP is 28-31st Thurs to Sun 2014

    As for the BSB I was thinking a race weekend when the kids are off which as yet I have not looked into

    Just thinking it would be good to arrange over the winter a few race events and meets for people on here and their (family?) to meet up. My wife and kids bot have been to bike and car racing over the past few years from BSB, Moto GP and castle combe racing etc..

    thoughts?

    We could try and go to a weekend of BSB at one of the rounds which is central to us all? Donny?

    BSB I would be looking at Donny, brands, Thruxton or Oulton but depends if it's a weekend when the kids are on hols. Just saves having to rush and having knckered

    Oulton would be nice as its near me but also perhaps the best track for action .

    My thoughts on this are to have a central track, and affordable event, the MotoGP at Silverstone is just too much for many.

    Brands, Cadwell, Anglesey, even Oulton are too remote.

    Donnington or Silverstone (with snozeboxes ) for BSB would be my suggestion - good level of racing

    I bet Knockhill has good atmosphere but it can rain like hell up there!

    Fook Knockhill its shyte lol

    Agree though, keep it central for all to be able to get there without too much hassle. Well for some I'd still be a good 6 hours drive, but I'd do it for something like this.

    Great idea, shame Mallory has gone tits up as it was a fab track for viewing and smack bang in England.

    Donny or silver stone wud b great for me n as said Motogp is crazy money, rather go to BSB :)

    And if weather decent id b riding to the meet up, however by then the Mrs wud have dropped so prob be the car unless i ger a day release from the nappies n baby sick :eek:

    Donnington or Silverstone seem the fav's. I know Donny is further up so better for the northan folk on here

    Donny would be the weekend of the 5-7th of Sept or a week after Moto GP and Silverstone the 3-5 Oct? maybe cold maybe not

    Was hoping to get something does earlier in the year say May/June

    No dates that I can see for the UK round of WSB yet.

    The Donny round of WSB is usually quite early in the year with Silverstone being later.
    Donny is usually March-May time. I usually go to that one so would be up for it, but equally wouldnt mind BSB at Donny or Silverstone

    Only thing with Silverstone though is that you are quite a bit away from the action. Personally I prefer to have the bikes go past and near rip my ears off ;)
