Indianapolis Motor Speedway will host a round of the 2008 MotoGP World Championship, with all three World Championship classes expected to take part.

The announcement of the race, set for Sept. 14, 2008, will be made July 16 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

A press release issued by the Speedway stated, “Please join us at 3:30 p.m. (local time) Monday, July 16 as motorsports history is made during an announcement in the Plaza Pavilion at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.”

It’s expected the announcement will come just days before the release of the provisional 2008 MotoGP World Championship calendar.

Earlier this month the race was confirmed by a Dorna official, who said it was only a matter of timing on the announcement.

With the U.S. hosting a second MotoGP round, the calendar would expand to 19 races, unless a race gets dropped. It was originally believed that China would leave the calendar, but more recent indications are that the Turkish GP won’t return.

With IMS expected to host all three classes, it leaves little room for the AMA Superbike Championship. AMA officials have said the 2008 calendar will look similar to this year's. But there may be a shift in dates. The Sept. 14 IMS MotoGP date could conflict with the AMA's stand-alone date at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.
 
I'm already here, waiting!

MOTO GP in Indianapolis! Event Planning

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The MOTO GP race date : September 12 - 14th 2008

Weather:
(Average temperature for that date is 80 degrees for the high and 59 degrees for the low)

EDIT date 9/8/07

This topic is long and I thought it best for late arrivals to save you a lot of reading. Here is the situation in short form. Jump in and have some fun with us!

I have locked in a group of 200 tickets in the top row of section J (see map below). I am holding the money for purchasing the tickets when they become available. I am in contact with a track representative and the track is excited to have us as a group. It turns out that our group is quite large in comparison to most track groups. Our name will be posted on the screens at the track. That can only be good for AF1 and Aprilia in general.

The placement of the seats gives a clear view of turns 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, The straightaway, Start/finish line, and turn one off in the distance.

This is a link to a movie I took of the race from the south end, top row of the NW Vista. You can see section J's top row in the final shot of the movie. Keep in mind the F1 race is run CW and the Moto GP will be CCW direction.

Group Perks: A lap around the track on your bike with the group, VIP parking at the track, a police escort to the race on Sunday, rides through the twisties of southern Indian with a group leader so you can focus on riding rather than maps, group rate at at a hotel (still negotiating... group rate pending but also requires a guarantee of 100% use, not sure this is wise... more to follow.), and a BBQ for the whole gang (additional $ for this but trying to keep the catered event under $10/person... waiting for track schedule to be posted before commiting to this).


The money for the following members has been received and their tickets will be purchased in time for the race. If your name is not on this list I have not received your money.
