🏍 MotoGP EXTRA: Behind-the-scenes at the British GP weekend
Added 2024-08-09 10:16:13 +0000 UTCWe’ve got something a little different for you on this episode of MotoGP Extra...
On a day-to-day basis, Oliver Card is The Race’s Creative Lead, working on everything from graphics and branding to podcast artwork, merchandise and more. He’s also a massive MotoGP fan, and a rider himself, but prior to this year he’d only attended one race as a fan.
Given he works in motorsport, we thought it was high time he got to experience life behind the fence. We got Ollie accredited and sent him to Silverstone for MotoGP’s British Grand Prix where he documented his experiences as an audio diary!
Listen in as Ollie rides up to Silverstone on his BMW F800GT to join the Two Wheels For Life Ride-In, which sees him joining 200 other bikers for two laps of the hallowed track at Silverstone.
We’ll also hear from Ollie as he experiences the MotoGP paddock for the first time, joins The Race’s Simon Patterson for rider briefings in the media centre, explores the fan zone, and even as he makes an appearance on the main stage to host a Q&A with Simon on Sunday morning ahead of the race.
Along the way there are interviews with Two Wheels For Life founders Andrea Coleman and Randy Mamola, plus the thoughts of like-minded MotoGP fans, for whom the Silverstone weekend is always something special.
We hope you enjoy!
