Brands or Donnington on sunday?
Discussion
So.....which is it for this sunday then?
Both promise a hell of a lot of racing, but, being in Basingstoke, Brands is only an hour and a bit away, whereas Donington is a good 2 hours at the least.
So.....which would you go for and why (as I'm not an avid supporter of any of the series on offer)?

I was going to be racing at Silverstone this weekend, but had huge crash at Paddock at Brands couple weeks back so car is not race worthy! So, looks like Donington Park for the LMES!!!!
Think I'd rather see the Le Mans racers especially as I missed 'Le Mans' again this year! Don't think there is any better racing on this bank holiday! , if you want to see some dogems/smashes then go to Silverstone

if you havent see the Le Mans cars in action I would recommend Donnington for the LMES
my 1st year at Le Mans this year & although been to GT events (at Brands) before
didnt appreciate how much quicker & nosier the Le Mans p1 & p2 cars were, plus you get the added bouns of GT cars too.
IMO it will be worth the journey just to here the Coverettes, plus they are having a cracking battle with the Aston DB9's in this series at the mo
Nice dilema to have though

Donington all the way! Leave Sheffield straight after work, meet up with a mate in his S2000, quick hoon down the back roads to Donny and pitch up with Speedchills for 2 nights. So much racing to watch over the 2 days it gives you a chance to wander the entire circuit to view from every angle. If the weather turns it'll either be the museum for a quick gander or head straight for the bar.
Had to bribe my mate with a promise of helping decorate on Monday or I'd be off to Snetterton for the Kitcar show. Got a hankering for a Tiger/W'field machine for next year to get some trackdays under my belt. The Vette stays for Le Mans but I'd love a trackday car aswell!

Remember that the factory Corvette & Aston teams are in the ALMS instead, although there are other Astons & Corvettes running, thankfully!

Neither.
Oulton Park for the Gold Cup. 2 seat F1 Minardi and a Pikes Peak Audi

Seconded.
The Gold Cup is a one off, awesome event. Some of the cars racing are truely magnificent. The sound, the smell.....
Worth the extra hour and a half drive past Donnington? You bet.
Why not bring your tent and kip on the Sunday night, as it runs into Monday too.
OR - Donnington on Sunday and Oulton on Monday ?
