Donington GP Great but.....
Discussion
Went to Donington GP yesterday, great day, Racing was top notch, weather perfect all-in-all a great day out.
On the news this morning was a mention of the race and that Valentino Rossi won, which was good....But then they went into "lecture" mode about some road safety video that was apparently shown there although I didn't see it myself, now I am in favour of "real" road safety measures but I suspect that this was a "speed kills" video did anyone see it?
Also There was a stand at the circuit called something like "Loughborough crime prevention partnership" which seemed to be promoting bike security but on closer examination was affiliated to "Leics road safety partnership" so more of the "speed-kills" being peddled - Mind you I didn't see anyone looking at the stand and later when I passed it again it was closed - so not too popular with the biking fraternity then, wonder why?
Still I don't suppose it spoilt anyones day, just a little bit more brainwashing, another turn of the screw....
Next stop Brands Hatch WSB, anyone going?

I didn't see any of the safety stuff you were talking about, obviously lucky.
Was by the mouth of the tunnel between Mcleans and coppice, but I'm not surprised you didn't notice it wasn't exactly teeming with people!
Don't know where or when the video was shown but I assume it was on the big screen, probably right at the end (already going out the gate by then!)
