How sad to see it like this, I've heard it's now back with the Wheatcroft family but don't know their intentions for it at the moment...

Bugger, says not available anymore, will try and do a search, it's in a sorry state!

fuck me what a mess!!

Christ, that is a sorry sight. The track itself doesn't look like it'd take a lot of work to get back into shape, but that central spectator area is a right mess.

nothing that a JCB and some pikeys with tarmac cant sort in a few days

getting the race license back now it has expired will be a whole different kettle of fish

Such a shame!

I blame that short arse idiot who runs F1. If he hadn't offered the British Grand Prix to Donington in the first place, none of this would have happened. He was just venting his long running spat with Silverstone to get what he wanted - little man syndrome!

Yeah because all tarmacadam contractors are pikeys aren't they....

Though you are right, give us two/three days and the trench crossings would be sorted, different story for the landscaping I fear.

We could even stick around for the re-opening and sell some peggs on the gate.
