Central London Immersed in MotoGP! The Full Story of the Spectacular Pre-Event to Energize the British Grand Prix
MotoGP, the world's premier motorcycle road racing championship, will hold a large-scale official pre-event on August 6th at "Outernet" in the heart of London, ahead of the upcoming 12th round, the British Grand Prix, at Silverstone Circuit. Following the success of the Dutch GP public viewing event, which attracted over 20,000 attendees, London will once again be enveloped in the excitement of MotoGP.
This event marks the first time the official press conference for the British Grand Prix will be held in an open-to-the-public format at Outernet. Riders scheduled to attend include Marco Bezzecchi of Aprilia Racing, local British hero Cal Crutchlow of Castrol Honda LCR, and Pedro Acosta of Red Bull KTM Factory Racing. They are expected to discuss their aspirations for the weekend's race and their rivalries.
In addition to rider talk shows, the venue will offer various attractions for fans to immerse themselves in the world of MotoGP. Latest racing machines from the five participating manufacturers – Aprilia, Ducati, Honda, KTM, and Yamaha – will be on display, along with a special exhibition of the "Champions Tower" trophy, engraved with the names of past champions.
Furthermore, a special video titled "Do Not Blink," synchronized with the Silverstone Circuit's lap record of 1 minute and 57 seconds, will be screened on Outernet's massive digital screen. This immersive experience, allowing viewers to feel as if they are racing through the streets of London at high speed from a rider's perspective, will also be streamed on social media, further amplifying the excitement of the event.
"Bringing Fans and Media Closer" Marketing Director Expresses Expectations for the British Grand Prix
Kelly Briten, Global Marketing Managing Director of MotoGP Group, shared her expectations for the London event:
"The response to our previous event at Outernet proved the high level of interest in MotoGP in the UK. Holding the official British Grand Prix press conference in central London is a significant step towards our goal of making the sport more accessible and bringing media and fans closer to the excitement of the race."
"With the participation of top riders like Marco Bezzecchi and Pedro Acosta, along with racing machines from all five manufacturers, interactive content, and the World Championship trophy all gathered in one place, it will be a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the start of the British Grand Prix week with both new and long-time fans."
The event will begin with media activities and the official press conference at 10:00 AM BST (British Summer Time), followed by free public access from 2:00 PM. Additionally, a charity auction will be held, featuring items such as exclusive paddock passes and invitations to the podium ceremony.
