Cassandra: MotoGP Season and Apple's Calendar |
|
By Graham K. Rogers
I always use a specific colour for the MotoGP schedules in Apple's Calendar so that there is a clear contrast with the Formula One schedule which I will enter later. Last year there were too many date clashes, although in most cases I managed to compensate by watching the Moto3 and Moto2 races live, before switching to the Formula One race. I would catch the MotoGP race later (and perhaps run the other two races again too) as I use the MotoGP Video Pass. It is not cheap at €139.95, but helps keep my temper when the TV signal fails in the rain or there is an extended snooker broadcast.
Although I used to attend such races years ago when I lived in the UK - Silverstone, Nurburgring, Monza, Hockenheim and others - the only races I have been to here are at the small Nakhon Chaisri circuit, miles out into the countryside on the 4042 road.
