BEHIND THE SCENES WITH MOTOGP, BENEFITTING RIDERS FOR HEALTH Motorcycling fans can get a behind-the-scenes peak at the MotoGP World Championship on Thursday, July 19 at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, in the run up to the Red Bull U.S. Grand Prix. This unique experience is also raising money for Riders for Health to save lives in Africa. To give fans this exclusive opportunity to go behind the scenes, a limited edition ticket is on sale, with all proceeds going to Riders For Health. This special ticket includes: · A half-day motorcycle tour on the backroads of Monterey County, including Carmel Valley (9a-1p); · 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; · Motorcycle parade lap 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 items. Those who purchase a ticket but don’t wish to ride a motorcycle will be given a shuttle tour of Carmel Valley, including wine tasting stops along the way and a tour on-track 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 programmes, 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: ‘You can spend all the money 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.’ To purchase a ticket for Behind the Scenes of MotoGP, benefiting Riders For Health, call the Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca ticket office at 1-800-327-SECA.
