MotoGP launches Bangkok season to maximise fan engagement
MotoGP has launched its Bangkok season offering an array of different events for fans on site and those watching around the world with maximum crowd capacity reached in the stage show.
The day started with the creation of an iconic picture at the Marble Temple. A stunning building and one of Bangkok’s best-known sites, the temple proved the perfect backdrop.
The bikes also arrived in style – on tuk tuks and all led by the new BMW M Safety Car. Heading through the streets of Bangkok, the parade announced our arrival and proved the perfect delivery as the bikes made their way to the temple to be put in place for the photo.
From there, it was a pitstop for some interviews, and then time to gear up for the street and stage show.
On street bikes, each rider made their way to the stage on a lap round the block and into the main venue in ONE Bangkok. The brief: do anything you want and make as much noise as you wish. Certainly Fabio Quartararo (Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP) went for it, with one burnout and then another and another. Not long after, he got some competition from another reliable rubber burner: Jack Miller (Prima Pramac Racing).
MotoGP launched the Bangkok season to create a fan event to remember, and one that’s completely free for all to enjoy.
And to make some noise! Not only could the fans see the riders head round to the stage on street bikes, but then they got to hear the MotoGP bikes too.
Every factory fired up one of their machines on stage, with the riders giving it a twist of the wrist to show the max capacity crowd the incredible sound of MotoGP.
The grand finale was also chance for the riders to talk directly to the fans and the crowd. With the season opener set for Buriram in a few weeks as another year appears on the horizon for the most exciting sport on earth, it’s the perfect warm up for many of the fans who’ll make their way to Chang International Circuit for the first showdowns of the year.
