AT LAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Praise the ACO for their wonderful decision to hold the British round of the newley named "Le Mans Series" at Donnington Park. IMHO a FAR superior curcuit for spectators and drivers alike. God Im soooo happy I could just BURST.

Keep it in Northamptonshire where seriously fast cars can be fully catered for.


Only the cars are catered for NOT the spectators! About time the pre madonnas got their act together! I hope its a long and happy association that will continue for many years to come! At least at DoNington they know what the spectator requires!

Having seen some amazing Group C and later LMP racing at Donington, I can say with some certanty that the racing will be superb! Coupled with the fact that if you sit in the In field area over looking the old hairpin you can see from the top of the Crainer Curves right up to Macleans with a virtually unresricted view. A hell of a lot more of the curcuit than is visible in one go at Sillystone. The only place that is comparable is if you sit down at Stowe the view from Chapel up to Club. IMHO Not the same really given the excitement of the "Curves". It may be more of a trek north than some of the southerners are prepared to make (I know cos I am one, although I moved to Liverpool about 9 years ago!) I used to enjoy the journey and attended with some regularity the meetings at Donington, an association I am still very fond of, only bettered by Spa. I just wonder what the drivers opinion is of the circuit and which one they prefer?
