You Can Book This MotoGP Champ’s Trackside Motorhome During a Race Weekend
If you’ve ever been to a big race, you know that the most frustrating part of the weekend is getting in and out of the track. Thousands—if not tens of thousands—of people trying to get to the same place at the same time makes for a borderline infuriating experience. Well, you won’t have to deal with that at the upcoming Catalan MotoGP race thanks to a new partnership between Airbnb and Honda rider Marc Marquez.
The eight-time MotoGP world champion is listing his team’s motorhome on Airbnb for one night, allowing fans to experience a truly one-of-a-kind, behind-the-scenes race weekend. Even better, it’ll only cost a lucky guest 93 euro, or the equivalent of $101. That’s about the price of a PB&J sandwich at the Miami F1 Grand Prix.
Judging by the photos, the swanky motorhome is decked out with a full bedroom, living room, kitchenette, and what looks like a neat workshop area. While the latter is just for looks, the rest of the motorhome seems like the perfect place to hang out during a MotoGP weekend. And that’s perhaps the biggest takeaway of this opportunity: being inside the MotoGP paddock throughout Saturday and Sunday. That’s the kind of experience that’s usually reserved for riders and team personnel.
“The motorhomes space during a Grand Prix is exclusively reserved for riders and their teams. Guests will live a once-in-a-lifetime experience, not available to anyone else. This is the most exciting motorsport championship in the world and hosting in my home city really raises the stakes for me”, said Marquez about the Airbnb listing.
