Donnington has major construction work going on at the moment, so failing that I'd choose Rockingham. It does depend if its Rockingham National or International. National will be total poo as it is effectively a kart track. International includes a section of banking which will make it an unforgettable experience.
So in order of preference:
1.) Donnington if available
2.) Rockingham.
3.) The others all sound like they are kart tracks or airfields with cones. Avoid like the plague.

There are 4 options (including the oval) IIRC, the Sportscar circuit's ace IMO. Donnington was much more interesting, and that should only improve if the work is finished.MarJay said:

I agree.I've raced at Donington and Rockingham in a variety of cars and would say Donny, or Rockingham if Donny isn't available - the infield at Rockingham has some interesting bends and would stretch an Atom nicely. I'd avoid tiny karting type tracks or airfields.

The Rockingham track is "Rockingham Motor Speedway", is that a good one?
Which of these: http://www.rockingham.co.uk/about/circuits.asp though?I've got a race weekend at Donny on the 18th/19th of September... and being the Toca package I'd be surprised if it weren't the second or third weekend to run there, the first probably being a mid level club weekend to make sure everything works
As for Rockingham being dull, it is until you drive it in a fast enough car. In a Caterham, it's boring, in a Porsche it's annoyingly difficult until you get the hang of it, at which point it's quite rewarding.
Coming out of the banking with shift lights up in 5th, flat to the boards cornering so hard you can see the outside front tyre tucked under the rim in every photo can never be described as dull... terrifying every lap, but not dull. Dull is listening to a screaming 4 pot for a solid half a minute while you're going so slow you have to steer up the banking
