I agree, F1 is very lucky to be getting F1. I’m far more interested in motorcycle racing. I’ve ridden donnington many times and its a great shame to be loosing the current layout. On the other hand the new section looks pretty exciting. I’m assuming domestic championships will still be using it, so I look forward to trying it out.

The biggest shame though is, i bet they smooth out the sharp drop under the old dunlop bridge which is great on a bike (although i remember is was never very good for F1 cars before)

F1 is getting a very good venue, so i hope it all goes well. Louis, MotoGp is getting a very good track in the new Silverstone which looks like a mega track too.

Hey Guys,

Ok don’t yell at me here, but i am personally more of a fan of Moto GP than F1. Donington has been part of the Moto GP calendar for the best part of 20 years, and is revered as one of the most loved and popular Grand Prix.

Yes, getting in and out of the circuit is a bit of a drag, but for the past few years the organizers have done a fantastic job. There was a slight mishap in 2008 when a ride was constructed in the wrong place, forcing EMA to close a runway however this was the fault of the ride owner, not the organizers.

There has been lots of talk about planes dropping fuel on the MacLeans corner. However since the resurfacing of the track 3 years ago, there has been no problems.

Donington is regarded as a favorite of Riders like Valentino Rossi, Jorge Lorenzo and Troy Baylis. The heritage and history of this track is second to none, and i am sure will be a welcome addition to the F1 calendar.

The new layout seems very interesting to me, and to be honest i am very disappointed that Moto GP will not get to experience it. I will be sad to see the track go from out Calendar, but happy to see it in F1.

My advice to all of you would be to just wait, and give Donington a try. You will see how wonderful the place is, and with all of these changes being made, the place will become Magic…..especially compared to the likes of the Valencia Street Course, or Sakir

Seriously guys, you don’t know how luck you are to be getting it.

i agree 100% We have had to put up with 3rd world Facilities for yrs. And now the F1 comes along & everything changes. But I was there for the BSB & i really can’t see donnington changing. I can see the new F1 crowds having to put with what we have had to put up with for years!! I’m meant to be off to the WSB’s but after seeing nothing had changed in the last 2 yrs since i was last there I’m cancelling my tickets

Donington was charged with several offences as a result of their Moto GP event including having structures so high that the airport could only use half of the runway.

i think they should of left the track well alone, i dont care about formula 1 i think its boring, the airport had no problems with the moto gp when they have tv coverage and everything else they didnt need to shut a runway, now moto gp is going and f1 is at donington that is rubbish, its a bike track not f1 track, nobody is happy about the change cuz we spent the last 30 years paying to see races and stay on a crap campsite with diabolical toilets and showers, now that there is a revamp were all let down by donington glorifying the circuit for the most boring sport. in my opinion moto gp fans have been let down for greedy money grabbing people.

Well MotoGP is off to Silverstone for 2010 so it matters less now. But I don’t agree it’s “a bike circuit” – one of the best races I ever saw was that epic BTCC race in the wet at Donington in ’98. And F1 at Donington in ’93 was pretty special.

When I think of ‘bike circuits’ I think of tracks like Ricardo Tormo in Spain which are too tight and slow for full-blooded single seater racing cars. F1 cars shouldn’t be racing on those. Modern F1 cars going through the Craner Curves will be quite a sight – and a lot faster than bikes…

And the last great track of England? We’ve still got Brands, Oulton and Cadwell and they’re all great.

It’s a bike cicuit Leave it that way. Yes F1 was there before, but they left. Why change such a fantastic circuit just to please the fashionable F1 crowd. They’ve ruined Silverstone and now to the last great track of England.
