From Mazda Laguna Seca Raceway
BEHIND THE SCENES
WITH MOTOGP, BENEFITTING RIDERS FOR HEALTH
MONTEREY, Calif. (June 4, 2008) – A
unique and exclusive behind-the-scenes peak at the MotoGP World Championship is
being made available to 50 lucky fans at the 2008 Red Bull U.S. Grand Prix at
Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. The organizers of the event and Dorna have made this
possible to help raise money for the work of Riders for Health in Africa. This treat will take place on Thursday, July 17,
at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, in Monterey, California.
Tickets are now on sale for $500.
This special ticket includes:
• A half-day motorcycle tour down
Hwy 1 into Big Sur and the back roads of Monterey County,
• Catered lunch in the Turn 4
Paddock Suite;
• An exclusive behind-the-scenes
MotoGP paddock and pit lane tour;
• VIP paved 3-day motorcycle parking
or 3-day on-site auto parking;
• Three motorcycle parade laps of
the circuit (or a van ride for those not on
motorcycles);
• Meet-and-greet with MotoGP riders
past and present, including MotoGP legends Wayne Rainey and Randy
Mamola;
• A live auction of exclusive MotoGP
team and rider items.
Even those who don’t ride bikes can
join in, as they will take part in a shuttle tour down Hwy 1 into Big Sur and an on-track tour of Mazda Raceway Laguna
Seca.
Riders for Health is the official
charity of the MotoGP World Championship and all proceeds will go to supporting
their award-winning African programs, which train health workers to ride and
maintain motorcycles so that they can reach even the most remote villages
regularly. Thanks to their supporters in MotoGP, and the wider motorcycling
community, Riders is helping nearly 11 million people across Africa to have the basic health care we take for granted,
giving them the chance to fight disease and look forward to a healthier
future.
Riders for Health co-founder Randy
Mamola on the work of Riders for Health:
‘The first Riders for Health Day
(2007) was fantastic and everyone had a great time. I am sure that this year we
can raise even more money to support this really important work. You can spend
all the money in the world for vaccines, condoms and mosquito nets, but unless
you can actually get them to the people who need them, they’re useless. That’s
where motorcycles come in. It’s the same tool that helped me get to where I am
today that’s helping save people’s lives.’
