New Donnington Layout

Featured Replies

Unless they can get a licence, then no.

And no events means no cash, no cash no improvements & no UK F1! Bernie knew this well in advance, and will already have signed a deal with someone else to cover when Donny fails to deliver.

Turkey or Portugal most likely

Does this mean Donnington wont be used for anything this year?

It depends on what stage the building work is at and what they can sort out with this particular problem.

There's plenty of other race days outside F1 and MotoGP but they are starting to be postponed or cancelled.

Race calendar change but midweek and trackdays unaffected

BTCC is one that I wouldn't like to see go.

BTCC has long been at Donnington.

Anyone else read Autosprout for 08/04? I can see the MSA's point; there is burger all run-off over the tunnel!

I know , we used to set off at stupid o clock to go down from Berwick to watch , back in the early to mid 90s.

Looks like no UK F1 after this year, and silverstone sold out last year.

Back to the layout (rather than the politics) and I have to say I like the Parabolica style turn from where Goddards used to be around to the new left hand hairpin in the infield section. Be great to see some of the moves pulled on the brakes whilst still trying to get turned to the left - expect plenty of bikes falling on the front ends!

Ref the MotoGP move, reading MotorSport I think that was a planned move, not a reaction to the Donnington works like the MSA licence suspension/removal.

Dony have until 5pm 5th May to meet planning requirements, or permission will be removed with immediate effect.

They include transport arrangements, agreed by local authorities, during race days, and the sig of the track owner on planning permission.

Then there's FIA scheduled inspection during June, and a deadline for completion and FIA final approval of 30 March 2010.

It isnt going to happen.

Well its been used for BSB and WSB and Moto GP... Still cant see it being ready within a year...

Gilette has less than 24 hours before planning gets pulled.

I wonder if the BTCC will happen next weekend?

I'm hoping it goes ahead, I'm hoping to go with my brother!!

I've played this track so many times on TOCA Touring Cars 1 and 2 and seen it in the races on TV.

Definatly wanna go to more than 1 meet this year. Last year only went to Oulton Park.

This year going to OP again. but wanna go to Donnington, Silverstone and the last races at Brands.

Currently he owes the circuit owners £2.5m. By June this will have doubled.

Cutting it very fine for FIA approval.
