Road to Motegi with Fiat 500

Posted in events, International, Simone, wow. 14 Comments, write one.

This weekend I lived one of the most exciting experiences of my life. Guess what?! I was invited by Fiat and the Fiat Yamaha Team to Motegi, the world famous Japanese race track to participate in the Grand Prix of Japan! For three incredible days I lived on the track, in the paddock and in the pitboxes with the worlds fastest MotoGP riders.

To reach Motegi I passed by the wonderful Japanese countryside near Mito in a Fiat 500C. The weekend was perfect, and the weather was great.

Day 1, free practice of the MotoGP. I was so excited to discover the MotoGP world and when I got there the reality was even better than I imagined! I would meet the nine time World Champion Valentino Rossi; the legendary Italian rider of the Fiat Yamaha Team was in the pitlane to greet his fans!

I wasn’t surprised to see such a huge crowd for him in the pitlane of Motegi…

Being in the pits when the mechanics and engineers were preparing the Yamaha M1 was an incredible experience. These bikes are super precise machines that achieve unbelievable performance!

I had the chance to meet Valentino Rossi, one of my legends since the beginning of his career. We had a chat inside the pits: I was really happy to learn he already knew tokidoki. We also exchanged contacts: it’s great knowing that a world champion such as Valentino can be such a down-to-earth and nice guy.

Sitting in the inside border of the track I experienced the real show of the MotoGP: I could see riders such as Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo speeding around the curves. This way, I could appreciate the speed, power and elegance of these bikes. They definitely rock!

Everybody here is so busy and unfortunately I couldn’t meet Jorge Lorenzo. He’s only 23 years old but hes already driving fans crazy: he is a “chosen one” destined to a magnificent career!

SUNDAY – Race day finally arrives: the atmosphere it’s thrilling and my heart is pounding! The bikes are ready to hit the track, mechanics are busy with some last minute tweaks and cute umbrella girls entertain the fans…

A few minutes till the green light: Valentino and Jorge only need to put on their helmets and jump on their M1s!

 The battle between Rossi and Lorenzo was unbelievable: the crowd was excited and I was lucky enough watch it STANDING ON THE SIDE OF THE TRACK!





 The Fiat Yamaha riders ended up with a respectable third and fourth place…

 The podium was a special moment to celebrate a wonderful race and a happy closure of my experience. I want to thank all the wonderful people I met and the whole Fiat Yamaha Team working behind Valentino and Jorge! Definitely, I will be an even BIGGER fan than I was before. Sayonara!

tokidoki ROCKED IT once again at Comic Con this year in San Diego! Thank you to all our fans and friends who continue to make the event more exciting for us and more active with each passing year. We saw a lot of familiar faces and even more new ones! This year was packed with signings, exclusive products, sneak peeks, special appearances, and surprise visits.

Comic Con 2010 saw an enormous turnout and this was greatly apparent at the tokidoki booth. Fans crowded the 10 x 30 space to get their hands on many of the hottest tokidoki styles and products at discounted prices. This year brought more fans from all over, varying in age, backgrounds, and diverse attire, all expressing their inner passion and love for tokidoki.

Each day, 80 lucky fans were given the opportunity to meet Simone and to acquire some form of signage and/or a memorable picture. Some of the various items signed by Simone this year differed from laptops, books, bags, toys, a record vinyl, and even an iPad.

2010 was also the year that tokidoki introduced a few fresh and exciting projects at Comic Con, starting with Marvel and Capcom for tokidoki. Comic Con attendees were lucky enough to grab Marvel for tokidoki and Street Fighter vs. tokidoki gear exclusively made for 2010’s San Diego Comic Con.

Fans were also given a sneak peek at two new characters emerging from the tokidoki world, Lion Pappa and Savana, both part of the Royal Pride family coming soon to tokidoki.

Making a special visit to our booth, accomplished mixed martial artist and former UFC Heavyweight Champion and King of Pancrase Openweight Champion, Josh Barnett!! Josh mashed it up with Simone while rockin’ a fresh tokidoki tee.

Tom DeLonge!! Singer and Guitarist for bands Blink-182, Angels & Airwaves, and Boxcar Racer dropped by to share his love for tokidoki!

Close friend and fan of tokidoki, Stryker, of KROQ, and Simone were joined by Josh Sussman and Warren the Ape of MTV’s “Warren the Ape”, for a night out in San Diego.

Special thanks to Marvel and Capcom for the Exclusive Comic Con products and for inviting us to their “Marvel vs. Capcom 3” Comic Con Party at the Hard Rock Hotel in San Diego!

Simone Legno and Cindy Shin of tokidoki snap a photo with Big Boi of OutKast at the “Marvel vs. Capcom 3” Comic Con Party. Big Boi rocked the house with a performance which included many of OutKast’s hits and brought energy that kept the crowd pumped.
