I'm booked onto the MLR Donington TD on Sat 11 Apr, 2-7pm OPL - anyone else going? Hopefully it wont rain!

It will be my first time at that track - any advice/tips from Donny gurus?

Cheers,

Rob :thumbs:

No worries mate - look forward to meeting you. It is £129 for non-MLR members. It is almost sold-out though! :smt023

I'll show you the way round if you can get me the booking details!!!! I have THE fastest line thru Craner :thumbs: Its different to everyone elses, from my bike racing days, but it enables me to carry loads of speed at the bottom :thumbs:

Oh and your brakes get some proper stick at the end of the main straight, hauling the Strad down from 150ish lap after lap cost me a set of pads (£1400) :bigcry: No fade at all tho'....amazing!!

Enjoy...

The first time i went i was like " which way does the F*ucking track go" and was poodling around giggling to myself.

but once you get the hang of it it really is a fantastic track. Craner Curves are brilliant.

Bloody hell, they seem a waste of money then :hahaha:

I use Pagid RS29 with my AP set up and they lasted all day fade free at Donington and Snetterton...... :thumbs:

Have many many thousands of laps under my belt! I love the place! Just missed out on the last place with the MLR. Think i am going to pop over and try and get on if possible as some dont turn up. Still standard brakes tho!:banghead:

Any chance of a few laps Glendog74?:whistle:
