Bologna Motorshow-Memorial Bettega

[urabus-denoS2000]

As the title suggests,this is about the Motorshow.
Over the next few weeks I will ask A LOT of questions since this will be my first time and I hope you will help me.
Of course this can be a thread about Motorshow news,so feel free to post.
Any advice will be very helpful!

My first pair of questions:Are tickets bought for 1 day or for the whole show?
Should I book them earlier of is it not necessary?

Hello!
I have been to Bologna Motorshow two years ago! It´s a great event! You don´t have to buy tickets in advance, you can get them at the entrance of the show. And you can only buy them per day not for two or more days. I think the price is about 10 to 15€ per day, I don´t exactly remember. And be there early enough, there have been crowds of people at the cashdesks! But you don´t have to be afraid about getting no place in the arena, it is really big, you can compare it to a football stadium and there is a free choice of seats and it was only full during the final races! It is somewhere in the middle of the different exhibition halls but you get a plan of the whole area entering the event. There is motorsport action the whole day, you also get information about the timetable entering the motorshow. While events are running that are not so interesting for you, you can watch the great exhibitions,you can see the newest products of almost all manufacturers worldwide!
Have great fun and don´t worry to ask further questions!

I was there 2001 (Kresta, Schwarz, Gardemeister, Thiery plus Italians). You won't forget it!

It seems that there will be also Loeb, but not competing (opening ceremony appearance ^^).

Any chance of a web cast or high light show online?

Looking at the results, I guess this rumoured MG entry never appeared then?

Congrats to Sordo, 2-2 in rounds against Gigi but the best round single time (which counts in case of draw for the final victory).
