Ultimate Suzuki MotoGP package up for
auction at Riders for Health ‘Day of Stars’, Laguna Seca
The Suzuki MotoGP team and Riders for Health, the official charity of MotoGP, will auction an amazing MotoGP weekend package during the Day of Stars event at Laguna Seca on 22nd July. This incredible VIP package is the most exclusive auction item yet to be offered at the charity’s US event. It includes the chance to see inside a MotoGP garage and even to be on the grid before the race.
The winning bidder and a guest will receive paddock passes for the whole MotoGP weekend, plus the chance to watch some of Saturday’s sessions from pit-wall and the team’s pit-box – you CAN’T get closer to the action! And what’s more, one person from the winning couple will join the team on the grid for the start of the race on Sunday.
This really is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to get a close-up view of a MotoGP team on a race weekend. In previous years Suzuki MotoGP have helped to raise thousands of pounds for Riders for Health’s lifesaving work, by donating a series of incredible items to the Day of Champions auction in the UK, and now they are offering MotoGP fans in America the chance to be part of the action.
This amazing prize will be among the many items going under the hammer in the auction at Day of Stars, when the teams and fans of MotoGP come together to raise money for Riders for Health’s work in Africa. The funds will be used to mobilize health workers in Africa, training them in motorcycle riding and maintenance, so they can reach remote villages with regular, reliable health care.
The auction takes place at 16:00hrs on Thursday, 22nd July, and entry is free. Tickets for the rest of the Day of Stars entertainment – including behind-the-scenes tours of the MotoGP paddock – are available for a donation of $500. To find out more about Day of Stars, and to buy tickets, visit
