MotoGP Rookies Cup 2010

For the 2010 Red Bull MotopGP Rookies Cup we welcome the family and friends of all participating riders (collectively known as the 'entourage').

General programme

We have set up a package where we take care of you from landing to departure:

• Pre-event travel planning and advice
• 4 nights 3* Hotel (or better) with breakfast
• Dedicated Rookies guide at each event
• Specific plans for transfers and other activities at each event (costs and details vary for each event, depending on numbers and circumstances)

You can add extra nights; put more people into rooms to save money (and we do not penalise singles!); and we can organise any private functions/dinners for you and sponsors.

We also have a programme for our commercial customers which includes activities that you (and riders where appropriate) are welcome to join. Friday night we always have an opening party with food, drink and guest speakers

General weekend programme (exact times will be detailed at the event):

Transfers: We will work out optimum transfer arrangements for each event depending on people attending. Any costs will be shared amongst the group. This may involve van hire, and chaffeur if desired. Parking credentials will be provided by participants (they are provided by the programme) On arrangement with guide on an ad-hoc basis, we can also provide transport to the city or other destination as negotiated. Airport pickups will be similarily arranged (or you can simply take a taxi)

Guides. We have dedicated guides on hand speaking English, French, German, Czech and a bit of Spanish and Italian. For each event there is a main Rookies guide to whom you can address any question or request; although you can access any of our team (especially if language is an issue).

Meals. Our package prices only include breakfast. If desired we will arrange group meals for those nights not provide for by the Reb Bull organisation; at cost.

Race package prices (EUR)

‡We will consolidate Prague arrivals or bus to Brno depending on arrival times.
§Bungalows sleep up to 6 in three rooms with shared kitchen, living room, bathroom. We will put 2 parties, or 4 people in each unit. We will match by nationality unless otherwise requested. It is still possible for each party to add a 3rd person.

Arrival: is arrival date of the 4 night package. Packages start 2 days before the first date. Extra nights may be added either end.

h* is the class of the hotel we expect to use. (We reserve right to change hotels.)

Price: is price per package based on one room with 2 people in twin beds. Includes 4 nights accommodation.

Xnt is cost per room per night for more nights.

Xper is cost to add a 3rd person to room, per night. Please specify if a 3rd bed is required (normally a double and a single will be provided). If you wish to add a 3rd person in a separate/single room we will quote a single price.

EXAMPLE:

3 persons coming to Germany staying 5 nights in one room:
Base cost: 695 EUR
Extra night: +90 EUR
Extra person: 5 nights @ 30 EUR per night = 150 EUR

TOTAL: 935 EUR.

(n.b. for 2009 customers: this cost for Germany was €980, in a 2* hotel, this shows the effect of the new policies)

The Bottom Line

So what will using us for the entire programme set you back?

Assuming there are two people (rider + guardian) attending the tests and the full season; for the recommended days (4 nights each event, 6 nights for the pre-season tests) the costs will be:

This does NOT include:

• Flights (see section on flights)
• Any additional people attending
• Additional nights
• Ground transfer costs
• Incidental expenditures (food, drink -- although most meals are covered in practice under this programme)
• Insurances. Please confirm your insurance status!

Cost control

We will always work with you to keep to a budget; and advise areas where we think costs could be saved. Some points to consider:

• If you need to bring a third or 4th person, we can put in one room
• If you are spending extra nights, we will be able to advise inexpensive food options
• We will try to link you up with others arriving roughly the same time to permit carpooling to/from airports
• If you are coming a long distance, consider staying in Europe for events reasonably close to each other. Following the schedule reduction, in practice this means Sachsenring - Donington. See below.

ASSEN:

In all cases we can help with internal European travel and accommodation.

The Sachsenring-Donington Shuffle

If you are coming from outside Europe, we recommend you come to both events as a single trip.

There are very cheap flights from Prague to East Midlands (adjacent to Donington) so we recommend this route - Prague is the home base of Pole Position Travel (and accommodation is less expensive than Castle Donington!)

This also gets you a mini-break in Prague as well!

There are also many cheap flights TO Prague, from London, Amsterdam, Paris and other major European cities. This means if you are coming intercontinentally, you can target almost any city in Europe; then get to Prague to start our programme.

Our recommended itinerary:

• Wed 15/Jul - Arrive Prague.
• Transfer with Pole Position Travel staff to Chemnitz. Depending on arrival times we will depart Prague Wed evening or Thur Morning
• Thu 16/Jul - Mon 20/Jul Chemnitz / Sachsenring events.
• Mon 20/Jul return to Prague, 2 nights in Prague
• Tue 21/Jul Prague. We will do a walking city tour of our home. Dinner with PPT staff.
• Wed 22/Jul Fly to East Midlands with PPT Staff
• Wed 22/Jul - Mon 27/Jul Castle Donington

The total price for this as an add-on to the 'normal' packages is 250 EUR per person. This includes

• t/f germany/prague
• 2 nights Prague
• 2 dinners Prague
• Flight PRG - EMA
• guide services throughout

Please note this price is subject to change depending on the flight cost at the time of booking. (on 1.4.09 is 55 EUR pp)

Assuming the above programme, the TOTAL cost for 2 people starting in Prague 15/Jul and ending in Castle Donington 27/Jul will be EUR 2099:
