IronJambo Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 i'm quite disappointed that they didn't just bulldoze milton keynes and put a shiny new track there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makateer Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 It's good news IMO. Much easier to get to, near an international airport and closer to the middle of UK for driving. A decent track as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshallschunkychicken Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Donington's a great track. Superb for the BTCC, will be great for the GP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arse 'Friends' Dyslexic? Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 It's good news IMO. Much easier to get to, near an international airport and closer to the middle of UK for driving. A decent track as well. I'll be interested to see what Donington's redevelopment plans are as currently the track's shortcomings are: it's too short, it's too narrow, hasn't enough run-off, has very poor pits, poor spectator areas and has poor access. Apart from those things it has a lot going for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gershwin Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Who cares, F1 is pish. Superbikes and Moto GP are where you'll find decent racing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazio Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 2 of the greatest British Grand Prix of all time were at Donnington. The Mercedes Silver Arrows in the 30's and Senna in the rain (even though that was the European Grand Prix officially) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
