Best Viewing at Donnington
Discussion
Looking at heading down for the 750MC meeting on the 28th/29th. Where are good viewing spots around the circuit?
Would like to see the first corner for the morning races I reckon, first corner of the new season red mist seems likely. After that, where's best for viewing a decent proportion of the circuit? I'm thinking infield somewhere between redgate and craners would give the best over all visibility?

Just past redgate you can see cars exit the corner, down the craners, through the old hairpin and up almost to McLeans, then with a pair of bins you can see along the straight to Coppice. My second favourite spot being parked with the marshals on the right near the bottom of the craners I found last year!!
Donington is pritty good for viewing in general if you don't mind a bit walking. My fav places are the far end, anywhere from the Old Hairpin all the way up to Coppice as there are plenty of banks that give you an unobstructed view of the action. Heres my vid of a general test day few weeks back as it was mostly filmed from those areas.

Ended up stood along side the bizarre members only section. Got a good vantage point from there, some decent action in the horrendous weather.
There's a lot of work needing done down there right enough. Either refurb the hospitality building in the infield, or bulldoze it. As it stands, it's an eyesore. No sheltered viewing apart from the main stand on the start finish straight that I could see. Knockhill gets slated for facilities but it's at least got 2 covered sections around the track.
