MOTUL ACTION BOX
Valued WorldSBK title sponsor Motul will once more return with their popular‘ Motul Action Box’ initiative at all the rounds of the year. This takes the form of a colourful Motul pit garage where fans take turns to get really close to the mid-session action going on right inside pit lane, but also from a place of safety inside the pit box. Just follow the special Motul red carpet and barriers that start in the main paddock, and ends inside the Motul branded pit box. Once there, you can take your turn to stand very close to the action in pit lane for a couple of laps or so during the busy practice sessions. It feels a bit like having a time-shared pit lane pass. During a visit to the Motul Action Box you really get an insider’ s eye view of the sometimes frenzied pit lane action. If you yourself are one of the fortunate few you could also even be escorted to the Motul section of the actual pit wall, just a metre or two from the on-track action.
PARC FERMÉ
At the end of each race or Tissot-Superpole session, the lucky top three riders arrive in the golden glare of publicity at WorldSBK’ s special Parc Ferme area. The very first TV interviews are done right there and then, in Parc Ferme. The riders are soon escorted onto the podium set-up inside the paddock itself, which is specially designed to let the fans get close to the competitors. Another post-race initiative that has proved popular is seeing the riders immediately taken to the Paddock Show stage, after the Parc Ferme formalities have been completed. In the Parc Ferme, usually right in front of the podium ceremony, the fans can see all the podium riders’ machines from quite a close proximity. At several venues, you can also go see all the other hardworking riders and machines starting their debriefs with their pit crews inside the main Parc Ferme area of pitlane.
