UPDATED - Marc Marquez turns race weekend motorhome into AirB&B!
Repsol Honda MotoGP racer Marc Marquez will give two fans the keys to his motorhome for the Catalan Grand Prix
AIRB&B has a new property listed on its website this week, as Honda rider Marc Marquez offers up ‘his’ luxurious motorhome for a track-side stay at the Cataluyna MotoGP round.
Marc and AirB&B are offering the space for two people to stay in for the duration of the race weekend, taking in the sites, sounds, and atmosphere of a MotoGP race right from the heart of the paddock and amongst the other riders in the premier class.
To spare any awkward post-race moments, especially if Marc has an off-day, the six-time champion won’t actually be staying in the truck with you, although you will be parked next door - so you’ll probably still able to hear his Shoei hit the wall if his race doesn’t go as planned!
Describing the motorhome and the experience, the listing on AirB&B reads:
‘Decked out with some of Marc's most iconic helmets and racing suits, the spacious motorhome is a glimpse into the world of one of the most successful motorcycle racers of all time. Highlights from the stay include a ride on the MotoGP™ simulator, VIP seating to watch the race, and a personal guided tour of the never-before-experienced pit boxes.’
‘Once you arrive and check-in, Marc Márquez will virtually greet you while one of his team members will ensure a comfortable stay for you and your guest — including showing you around and setting out and arranging meals.’
We can now confirm how you can book, and for an AirB&B, this is actually very good value! The one night in the motorhome will cost just €93 and that's for two people on 2nd of September 2023. Other benefits to the one night getaway are listed as:
A night in Marc Marquez’s team motorhome, located next to Marquez’s private motorhome in a trackside area that is only accessible to the riders.
A closer look at some of the rider’s memorabilia, including his most iconic (and beloved) helmets, jerseys and, race suits - and even a selection of his most treasured championship trophies!
MotoGP VIP Village™ passes.
The opportunity to feel like a pro with a ride on the MotoGP™ simulator.
A personal guided tour of the paddock area including the pit boxes.
There is also no mention of how much the stay will cost as this will only become known once bookings are open - we’ll be keeping an eye on the page though and will let you know once it is live!
