Anyone know the current state of Donington......
« on: March 14, 2011, 11:08:41 AM »
I assume the track is OK (although modified) as they're holding events, but what about the facilities?

Wondering whether the WSB round on the 27th March is worth a visit or not. :scratch

Was hoping they might have improved things for the reopening - no info on their website about facilities though! :thumb_down

Or, a standard R6 in the fast group on Saturday.

Track looks fine. Few places have been patched but it's not your local council doing the resurfacing.

Viewing at Redgate looks like it has changed slightly due to them making the run off bigger. There is a lot of work going on there still and will be for the foreseable future.

It can only get better as the track fucking rocks  :thumb_up
