Valencia Help and Info

hi. me and the misses have boked tickets and flights to valencia
its been a dream for a long time,the only moto gp we have ever been to was donington which was fantastic, we camped for the whole weekend.
our valencia trip is going to be a bit of a mad trip as it was a spur of the moment thing while surfing the net
we leave stansted airport at 07.30 saturday morning and have flights back at 9.30 sunday evening. we have no hotel booked and thought we could rough it for the one night.
can any of you tell me what to expect ie.. public tranport distance from air port ect,

thanks for that 46marijke69 , i bet i will meet up with loads of fans doing the same thing as me, would like to find out how cold it is at night there tho as im roughing it haha.

Is anyone going, or has gone to Valencia before.

I'm about to book my tickets but can't find out whether the ticket includes camping or even whether camping facilities are available.
Can anyone advise on this please.

Also, is it easy to get in and out of Valencia city from the circuit both each evening (if we wanna go out, get food, or find accommodation if camping isn't an option) and also when the race has finished.

Thanks in advance

Mark

sounds like we both have the same worrys and questions. where are you flying from and what time are you due in valencia airport. im shedualed to land at 10.50 am on the 28th, it would be cool to meet others. roger

I went last year & it's a great place, taxi from the airport is around 20 euro & there are plenty of hotels & hostels(great fun & I'm staying in one) try searching for hostels valencia, camping valencia etc and clicky for more info , if you want more info from me ask away

The circuit is about 15km away from Valencia city.

The airport is close to the track (about 10 km), on normal-traffic circumstances it should take you 10 min to drive to the track 30min to Valencia centre. From Valencia centre it takes about 30 min to drive to the circuit, the race day, there WILL BE traffic jams, it could take over an hour to reach the circuit by car BE WARNED!

As far as I know tickets don't include camping.

A few small camping sites are around the track and in the town closest to the track (Cheste about 2 km) many locals rent rooms in their houses for the weekend. But there's really no facilities (hotels, restaurants, bars)
adjacent to the circuit.
I guess you can find accomodation easily in Valencia, it's a big city.

It shouldn't be too cold during the night in October (around 10ºC to 15ºC) But the noise of the party, the fireworks and the bikes revving up with no silencer will probably make sleeping harder than the cold.

There's a train station right by the track, so you can take the train from Valencia (centre) to the circuit directly, I've always gone by car (I don't live in the city) but many people go by train, it's probably the fastest way to go to the circuit.

I forgot to say about Cheste...DO NOT MISS great street parties on the gp weekend, I'll be there for sure!

make sure you don't take a wrong turn at ALBUQUERQUE!!!

sounds great, i'll go some day...when i move to SPAIN i guess.

Hi chaps

Well that’s all really useful.

Roger I'm getting in at 10:40 on Thursday. Let me know if you fancy meeting up.

I reckon get to the track by train from Valencia in the day, party in Cheste at night, then train back to Valencia for a couple of hours keep, then just do it all again.

I'm counting the hours
