I've avoided this one as I thought that it was in sessions (promiced to take my mechanics on a day towards the end of the year - and obviously Donington is pretty close). Are you sure that it's open pit lane Raceboy?

I wouldn't bank on it, but we were there on April 18th for a full day and it was open pit lane, but there was only about 20 cars there that day anyway, towards the end of the day we did a number of laps without even seeing another car
I imagine the answers only a phone call away

Donington have a few 'noisey' days this year, but even on the 'quiet' days I've heard some noisey cars going round with no problems

It's open pitlane so you can push yourself and the car for as long or short a period of time as you like
There is quite a lot of run off, you can have some quite big offs and not hit anything
Some of the quiet days are weekends which make things even easier for partying after


A few of us did a noisy day at Donington the back end of last year, no sessions, no noise restrioction and a brilliant day barring one of the caterfield brigade forgetting to put his sump plug/oil cap back on and leaving a trail of oil from start finish to macleans, and if you know donington you will know that is a long way !!!

I don't like session days personally as I like to be able to go out when I want to and get out of the way of faster cars if I need to ...
