Dear DOC GB / DOC Members,
World Ducati Week is coming back! And we can’t wait to experience together this big celebration that, after so much anticipation, finally awaits us all from 22nd to 24th July.
The WDW is a magical moment dedicated to all Ducati fans who constantly support and nurture our brand with their passion.
First and foremost, you DOCs, who are the beating heart of our community around the world.
The Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli awaits us with three unforgettable days dedicated to engines, free track sessions, riding courses, shows, and racing appointments with Ducati champions. But above all, lots of fun and the pleasure of being together!
We know that your passion and that of your entire DOC goes beyond all imagination! That’s why we want to inform you in advance that this year too we have provided a discounted rate for you and all the members of your Ducati Official Club.

https://www.docgb.org/bologna-ducati-factory-and-info
The surrounding towns Rimini, Misano Adriatico, Riccione, and Cattolica also host concerts and events events
Ducatis are everwhere!
We think Misano Adriatico is the place to be, the action usually centers on Restaurant Dolce Vita on the seafront.
Restaurant Dolce VIta
If you want to camp the favoured spot seems to be Camping Riccione
There will be other DOC GB members and Ducatisti from all over here Camping Riccione Google Maps
If you want to fly and drive the best airport is Bologna, with plenty of flights from the UK (mostly through Amsterdam Skippol or Frankfurt), it's 80 miles about 1.5 hours down the A14 Autostrada to Misano.

Club members who are also signed up for the Factory DOC can buy tickets for the event at around 50% off
Tickets are now on sales, see above.
By way of a reminder of what you need to do to prepare if you are lucky enough to be going here’s my list of things to watch out for and do regarding tickets, please note, details below assume that this event will be run like the 2018 one, so this may change.
- Tickets – These are now on sale and are available up until a week or so before the event, so no need to panic about buying as they have also never run out in the past.
- Reduced price tickets should be available to members who are also registered and accepted as one of our members on the factory DOC ie ‘MYDUCATI’.
- Email Invites from Ducati to buy reduced price tickets will come from members details on the Factory DOC, so it is vital that members log on to their ‘MYDUCATI’ to check that their information is up to date and correct, we have no access to this change this information so this must be done by members – If Ducati do not have your correct email address then you will not get an invite.
- Check here https://www.ducati.com/gb/en/home MYDUCATI is top right.
- The Factory DOC was 'purged' of non GDPR compliant accounts earlier in 2021 so please check that you have a current Factory DOC membership, if you're not sure please ask memsec@docgb.net
- Remember, don’t just assume your details are correct even if you can download a Factory DOC card from docgb.org. the systems are not linked.
- More info on the event will become available as time goes on please look here: https://www.docgb.org/what-is-wdw-world-ducati-week and also on the dedicated Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/groups/2570401319685314
