jaycee Posted March 9, 2010 Report Posted March 9, 2010 It looks like my commute down the M9! Quite sad really, all because of greed and Bernie Evilstone
madmike Posted March 9, 2010 Report Posted March 9, 2010 Remember this lovely day? I never got a chance to ride donington park, but I always love the layout! It look so fast... Im so sad now
laminator Posted March 9, 2010 Report Posted March 9, 2010 I got some pics at the save Donington day. Lots of work including crash barriers I didn't realise the extent of work until I watched the video.
wavydavy Posted March 9, 2010 Report Posted March 9, 2010 I never got a chance to ride donington park, but I always love the layout! It look so fast... Im so sad now Have done a few days there and I was always shit slow, but I loved the track - fast in the fast bits, but dog slow in the slow bits. Which is why a lot of people didn't like it... It'll be back.. I hope
wavydavy Posted March 9, 2010 Report Posted March 9, 2010 I can rent you a DR-Z for the day if you want.... Looks like you'll need one.....
David W Posted March 9, 2010 Report Posted March 9, 2010 It boils my piss what those greedy F1 wankers have done to Donington. A lot of money needs to be spend on that to put it right. The only saving grace seems to be that the track and it's foundations are largely still there.
IforB Posted March 9, 2010 Report Posted March 9, 2010 To be honest, the track itself doesn't look that bad. Certainly nothing that can't be fixed. The spectator areas look farked, but that's more a case of planting some grass seed than anything else..
vanman Posted March 9, 2010 Report Posted March 9, 2010 They could always do jcb racing Tossers the lot of them
Instant Gymnast Posted March 19, 2010 Report Posted March 19, 2010 Have patience people, who ever the new lease holders are will probably have plans to get it up and making money as soon as posible. Donnington was my first trackday in 2003. Been adicted since then. It won't be idle for long...Watch this space!
Basil Posted March 19, 2010 Report Posted March 19, 2010 I'm confused as to how it got into that state, what were the contractors thinking... it's like a patchwork of upfucks
buster Posted March 20, 2010 Report Posted March 20, 2010 The track itself isn't as bad as I'd been lead to believe. Just hope they get someone in soon enough to put it all right.
Harvey Mushman Posted March 20, 2010 Report Posted March 20, 2010 Does anyone know if they plan to continue with changing the track as I think the planned layout looked better than the existing one, eradicating the car park section from the esses to the now pit straight.

Ah, but without that section we wouldn't have had the spectacle of Gobert backing the Kawasaki into Melbourne Loop in a clearly impossible manner. I couldn't find it on youtube, but as compensation here's a piece of vintage Gobert, riding the kwak round the outside of Kocinski, presumably because nobody has told him it's impossible Mitch
