Everyone ready to see what Brno brings? :)
What circuit or circuits would you like to see added and realistically how many rounds do you think there should be each year?

l quite liked Turkey and would like to see it back on the calendar!

Hey! Thanks for the early notice on when the races are!

yeah, the track in Turkey was a good one. It will be a second year without it. If there was a race there, l would have probably gone but.. that as well means that l could go somewhere where is more fun, right? :)

l can not wait for Brno! l hope the summer break brings only good things :)

As for the rounds. The more - the better. The more races there are, the more fun l will have ;)

l would love a circuit in Bulgaria, that would be a good one, but l do think the tracks that r included r the best of the best!

Nice to see Hungray back on.

Looks like for 2009, its a short stay in Germany, before a quick flight back to blighty for Donny Park.

What a 14 day trip that will be !!!

Indy will suck for the Gp

barber motorsports park is a far better venue

they complain about cost then why not have laguna and indy back to back?

Cheryl, Nice job. Thanks for this. l have always wanted to see a MotoGP event at Germany is Nurburgring. It is an amazing course, exceptionally long (13 miles around with 73 turns!!!), perfectly put together with super long fast sweeping straights, & perfectly cambered curves that u barely need to throttle back on. High -Speed!!! The location is as beautiful as any track in the world as it cuts thru the lush mountain passes. l am attaching a map & a link to a page of great photo's.

Enjoy the rest of the 2008 season, gang! It is should be an awesome finish!

Hi Cheryl H, l think the number of rounds is about right around 18. when you add the winter testing, its a long season with a lot of travel.
l know we go to Japan is Montegi circuit But l would like them to do Suzuka too. Maybe Back to back then l would have the motivation to finally go there.
l am also eager to see how they get on with the eastern Europe sites. and l think they should go to India or Pakistan.
