Hi Guys,

anyone have any on board vids (or links) for a lap of donington GO circuit ??

watched a bit of WSB today - but they didn;t seem to have any on board cameras.. and i imagine donington is one of those tracks that can only be 'felt' from an actual onboard...

Not the full track, but looks pretty useful.

Hi Mark

Is Donington still on?

I was with the BRSCC yesterday and they were saying that - following the sudden subsidence that zeroed the second day of their recent meeting at Donington - they'd had a note from John Symes to tell them that the circuit's MSA licence had been withdrawn (again) and was unlikely to be restored in time for race meetings in the coming month.

I don't know about anyone else, but on the basis that Donington is a drivers' circuit par excellence - and was the venue for my first ever track outing back in 1985(I spun at Redgate, in the wet, two laps in a row) - I have a special affection for Donington.

Is all of this F1 fantasy stuff really going to kill off one the UK's best (and most historic) circuits.

If it is going ahead, have you got a ticket for me? I've secured a day off and as a result have no got no idea what to do with it.....so I may as well come to a circuit and get hacked off with not racing.

I'll be there on Friday to watch events. My car is going out for its first race for quite a few years, so that'll be fun. Shame that I'll not be driving! I'll be the one on two crutches, one leg, blue caste hanging around with Lanan Racing. Say hi if you see me!
