And most of those were crammed into the stands at Abbey, Hamilton Straight, Club and Vale which put a huge stress on the facilities. Andy
It was extremely noticeable on tv. Empty stand after empty stand. Not a good look with our new overlords I’d imagine.
There were a few very vocal opinions in the queues for the toilet, beer, coffee and burgers that 2026 could well be the last appearance of MotoGP in the UK. I was harbouring hopes the JP would do what is necessary to get Donington up to FIM class A accreditation but after this weekend’s attendance figures and doubts expressed about the local infrastructure around the circuit handling big crowds, that’s looking very doubtful in my mind.

Had email today saying for Silverstone racing club members Motogp 2026 tickets are half price, I can't go as it's in August again, bit annoying. At half price definitely worth going. I was in Luffield stand, great view for 3 days, but don't really like Silverstone as a spectator, it was nice not queuing, but to be honest I would have loved to have queued a bit to get in or out, or for food, just seems part of it. I know the infrastructure is far better than Donington, but it was so good when Motogp was at Donington , used to go every year, was there when Valentino won in the wet, Biaggi fell off in front of us. I know times change and things move on but it's nothing like it used to be.
