I haven't been to a British GT race for a few years so will go and have a look at this one as it's only 30 minutes away from me.

I have heard reports that you may not be able to get to the infield as it has all been closed off. Is there anywhere I can take photos/video that will not have the fencing in the way? If not I will leave camera at home and just take a few snaps in the paddock with my phone.

everything ive heard all the same, infield closed, the only way to get a decent pic will be from the grandstand before the start/finish line near the pits

I greatly enjoyed donington this weekend, i haven`t physically been to a GT round since Rockingham last year where RPM dramatically seized the crown. What has caused them to spiral down in the last year??
Nick Foster did a stirling job in the #2 car in the first stint and then the car seemingly disappeared into retirement, for a big team that seems to present itself to rival the best in the championship cr scuderia, why did all 6 rpm entries fade away to retire?? Its common knowledge they have the shortest skirts on the grid girls but I was rather expecting to see a few black vipers reach the end of the race! Hopefully they can re-recruit their star from 07 bradley ellis in a viper next year and get him going again to match his european success with a different team!!

There was a fairly high attrition rate at Donington. Was surprised just how many of the Ginettas failed to make the finish, given how many started. All the cars must all be set up to last the usual hour races - anything more than that, they burst into flames or the wheels fall off! Would have thought the Stark G50 could handle it having lasted 24 at Silverstone the other week.

Not sure what happened to RPM. Perhaps the absence of those short skirts from the grid was the cause of their downfall.
