Sepang, Phillip Island, Qatar, Motegi

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (rowles @ Feb 4 2010, 03:15 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>Hey, im going on a gap year and i was wondering if people have been to any of these places? these specifically as i travelling to these places to watch motogp! if you or if you know anybody who has been to any of these places then please could you tell me about transport and costs, food and costs and accesablilty to the circuit and things like that.

Will i have to book taxis in advance, how far away is Motegi from Tokyo, whats the best method of transport from Tokyo to Motegi, how much will that cost? I have found a hotel about 10/15 miles away in a place called Utusnomiya are there busses? would i have to get a taxi?

again from Qatar found a hotel in Doha but the how would i get to the circuit nightly and how much would it cost.

Any help you can give me will be hugly appricated

Thanks guys

I wish I could say ‘Been there done that!’ but not even close… Anyway, a least here is the location so you can find transport, hotels and restaurants nearby.

Feel free to PM me with any questions regarding Sepang. There are many Aussie members who have been to PI - hopefully one of them posts up. One member WAS going to Q this year but now is off to UFC instead... Motegi???

hey rowles. I'm the betrayer who's gonna be ditching motogp Qatar this year for UFC. However there is a possibility I might attend if my trip to UFC screws up. Either way, I can give you exact directions to the circuit as its extremely easy to get to it and wouldnt mind recommending a hotel if u want.

Phillip Island is a long way from public transport and from Melbourne. Your best bet is to get accommodation on the Island itself. If that's not possible then there is a ferry that runs from Stony Point on the mainland to Cowes on the Island. Buses connect to the ferry on the Island and take you to the circuit. If you need any more info let me know.

I've stayed here before (year 2000 I think) and it wasn't too bad.
Caravan Park

If you don't like caravan parks.
This should help.
Island retreats

Other than that you can pitch a tent at the circuit & don't have to travel at all.
Nice if you like to get on the turps
