Bit far for me. Would have loved to if it was closer to London.

Just remember that thre is a very strict 98dB drive past noise limit ay Donny. No problem for standard exhausts or those with quiet tail pipes, but a real issue for decatted cars or those with free flowing after market exhausts. Donny now appears to operate a 1 strike and out policy, so be warned! Otherwise a fantastic circuit for Nobles. Enjoy.

Neil your a nightmare.......... Love donny truly, but it,s a 6 - 7 hour round trip for me......... For 3 hours track time !!!

I'll take a look morrow and see if there's anything else on at maybe Oulton or Cadwell the day before or day after to make it worth coming up Narf !

Telo,

I'll come but in a supervisory roll or in charge of snacks etc.

Rocket's going into Jetstream on the following morning early to have offside wheel bearing replaced then straight to get front discs skimmed nearby ready for the evenings Waffe walloping at Donnington.

Even more disappointment, Shaun, no TGI in the vicinity yikes (and to think they were trying to turn Donington into an F1 circuit , without a TGI nearby!)
Seriously mate, if you're decatted or using Roush exhaust (or equivalent) without quiet tail pipes the chances of getting any more than a couple of laps without the black flag appearing is pretty slim.

Thanks mate,

Yep Roush on, 2 laps it is then still enough time to crucify a few Waffe's smile

Crikey that must be why they binned it off perhaps...

I was thinking going down the lines of doing all four establishments to match your very kind generous offer, which too will eliminate any uncertainty of choice & any unnecessary dilema's.

As long as no salads are involved...
