Unfortunately I won't be as I live in Dallas, TX, however I'm curious if any one on here will be making the trek? If so have fun!!

At Â£54.00 to get in the grounds is a bit too much money when you can watch it far better on TV

Mate paid Â£73 for 3 nights camping and 3 days racing and build up. Worth it me thinks.

Yes, I'm going all 3 days, worth every penny!
See it, feel it, hear it, live it!
You only live once.

I hear the views at Donnington are great. If I lived in Britain I would definately go! I just went to Laguna-Seca for 3 days. It cost me $90 for all 3 days general admission tickets and then I bought a paddock-pit pass off of eBay for $200. I know that is a lot but because of it I got Vale's, Nicky's, Max's, Sete's, Mick Doohan's, Randy Mamola's, Alex Hoffman's, James Ellison's, John Hopkin's and Shinya Nakano's autographs in my 2005 MotoGP Season Guide book. I had no idea how awesome a pit pass would be.

If you'd like to see all my pictures of the above racers and several more, plus some umbrella girls you can take a look here:

I'm sure any of you going to Donnington are in for a treat! This year was the first time I'd seen MotoGP in person and I was blown away at how loud the bikes are even more by how exciting it is to see them in person. Please post some pics if you take any and share them afterwards!

Also who are you guys wanting to win? I'm sure there are some Shakey fans on here. I have nothing against Vale but I'd like to see him off the podium for once. He's getting so far ahead in the points that it takes away the fun...sort of.

I'd like Colin Edwards to Win, 1st place, top slot.
Think he deserves it. Liked the guy ever since world superbikes.

Above all I'd like to see Nicky win again for all the naysayers that think he can only win at home. Collin would be great also as his home is only about 3 hours South of Dallas. I also wouldn't mind seeing Barros or Sete win. I think John Hopkins is very deserving too but I don't think the Suzuki has enough power to hang with the Hondas and Yamahas.

Got to say Nicky's win was a good one,

sure the track played a part in the win but why not make the most of local knowledge.
Bloody goood ride from him..........sure he will do it again soon.
He's been rideing better and better.........still like Edwards though

Wish I was going, but bike still off the road awaiting replacement engine- went last year and it was incredible. I too want to see Colin win as I've always folowed him since WSB. Met him at the NEC too one year.

Tony Tbone - you must have a big memeory card! Looks like a bloody fantastic place to go though.

Just watching practice,weather looks crap. I hope it impoves for Sunday. The forecast looks bad but Rossi will still be on the top step. The guy is a genious, he could win on a STORM

Hey Strat, Yeah, I have a 1GB memory card. But I brought my laptop and was downloading my pictures every night to it so that I could have the full 1GB available every day. I also took a lot of video on it, unfotunately I can't post vids on snapfish.com
