First Ever MotoGP night race Qatar 2008

[EJ25RUN]

The first round of this year Motogp Championship in Qatar will hold the first ever night race for a motorcycle grand prix. The track is very close to completion and the event has had mixed preview from the riders: Marco Milandri is thrilled while his Ducati teammate and current world champion Casey Stoner ( ) isnt as such even though he raced dirt bikes under the lights at the age of ten!

What do you guys think about a night race? My biggest thrill is that we might get Speedtv (NascrapTV) to show both events Live. They do a horrible job doing motogp broadcasts as when i was in italy earlier this year, italian tv had 2 hours of Mugello GP without commercials!



Singapore will follow suit in the F1 circus on sept 28

very true. I think it was on CBS once or twice and the picture was blurry as hell

That track has been around for a while. When he said that the track is almost complete he probably meant they were close to finished with the lights. I went to the first race back at Laguna Seca in 2005 and man is moto gp fun. Me and my family are going to the race at Indy this summer. I can't wait!

haha Yeah that track is amazing. The best part about that race was that is was Nickey Haydens first MotoGP win. Everybody at the race was going crazy.

[DieselNuts]

yeah, I can imagine. I have to say, he did have a pretty unfair advantage at that track.

[The Ninja]

**** yea! This is awesome!!!!

[EJ25RUN]

ok i guess i made it a bit unclear but the f1 coverage is actually pretty godd but its that squashed motogp hour that i hate!

[NAIZBST]

I am fully aware of that, I was just sayinig. I didnt mean it in a bad way. Even if he didnt win that race, he won the championship so we all know the man can ride.

Thats awesome! I think we're staying in a rental house that supposed to be right across the street from the track. Guess I'll see you there.

My cousin lives up in Indy, and he is usually on the road (NHRA bike drag race mechanic) , so he told me I can stay at his place.
