    Two new tracks in Brazil and Argentina this year.... Also a place I wouldn't mind visiting the beach (Brazil)

    Fair call that US can only host 2 races but Laguna Seca should always be on the calendar in my opinion, it's just an amazing track. Fingers crossed for 2015 then.....

    Austin is awesome, great facility and track, personally i'd have dropped the brick yard (amazing history - maybe not best for bike racing?) but hey ho guess on the plus side we get one more race next year.

    Was looking ay dates last night. Misano and arragon are 1 week apart.


    My "in head planning" says ride or railsaver train to Italy for misano, then 5 days to get over France and Pyrenees to arragon and long ferry home from Spain. Combine decent road trip with MotoGP's.

    I want to go to Mugello again and get the main grandstand this time. It's a must for me and will be going with my brother and a couple of mates and would be great if some forum members can also get over :)

    Gutted. Laguna is a legendary bike racing circuit. They should have ditched Indianapolis as that is always a dull race. Austin is also v.good with the bonkers sprint up to the first turn.

    Slightly off topic - but any idea why Assen is always a Saturday race?

    I will join you to Mugello Navvy10 and Assen is on a Saturday for religious reasons I believe.

    Well people if I tell you that I am 50 in 18 months time and as Laguna Seca just over the Texan border from Mexico, I had a cunning plan.
    50th birthday spent in Mexico, and sneak off for a couple of days to see my favourite track, and hopefully Valentino for the last time (probably)
    My hopes and dreams have been shattered.
    B******s !!!!!!
