I hope they get the camping as sorted as silverstone.

I guess for donington this is easy money? The welsh track have already paid to host the gp and they are now paying donington to host it next year so donington get the ticket money without having to pay to host.

Do they even have there own campsite there?

Nice. Silverstone i possibly the worst spectator circuit in the UK

Is it really though?

Club grandstand, luffield, becketts all give you views of a couple of corners.

Spectator facilities like campsites,toilets and silverstone wins hands down.

Yes craner curves is good but that's it, mcleans, coppice, even my favourite melbourne loop only gives you brief views.

All that said though i can't wait until next years gp.

The way I see it it's our home gp , if you can afford it and claim to be a fan you attend and cheer on the home riders ( even cal ) which venue is neither here or there.

You're joking right?

Nope.

If you can't be assed to go to your home grand prix then your no better than those arm chair football supporters who support man united but not enough to make any effort to watch them.

If you can't afford it or are posted offshore/overseas fair enough.

With the greatest respect mate, your talking ste.

I went to Silverstone in 2012, it was bland, boring, the facilities were really badly kept, and to top it all off it cost me more for a beer & a burger than it did to travel there & back, top it off with nazi security guards that make the donny staff seem hospitable and it made my mind up.

However, at Donington, the circuit is better, the atmosphere is miles better, even the average facilities they have are kept cleaner than the ones at silverstone! Plus its much easier to get to, camping is miles more fun and the riders love it too.

By your own admission your opinion is based on what happened 2 years a go, that was the cold wet race wasn't it?

I went to the f1 that year and swore id never go again , woodlands campsite was mud , st organisation and g4s staff.

Stayed there at moto gp and they've got there st together, decent security and staff always cleaning the toilets in the campsite and at the track.

So id say its you talking ste based on a outdated opinon

Really? thats strange, as the mojority of folk i know who went said fk all has changed, and its still the same overpriced, soulless cesspit it always has been.

Enjoy your memories of Silverste, and hold onto them whilst we all have a riot at one the of the greatest circuits nature has produced.

Campsite wise they've totally changed the layout to prevent wet weather turning it into a mud pit, sit down steak/curry restaraunt. Staff hanging around cleaning toilets/showers all day.

Trackwise staff cleaning toilets all day, staff cleaning rubbish from grandstand after every race.

I'll be going to donington next year and will be interested to see if they just handle camping the same as at download festival ie.you park up then have to carry all camping stuff to the campsite.

Donington/Silverstone, I've been to both and Silverstone's facilities were better, but the circuit is dreary, and it's crap for viewing the action.

Personally however I'll not bother visiting CoW if it ever happens. I'd rather go to a fly away race than travel that far to a "home" race. And they all speak weird over there.

Even if they build a awesome track, if the track ever actually gets built.

It'd have to have a loop the loop or a crossroads in it to get me there.

Corkscrew?
