f1 in donny!

<< < (4/4)

edy:
this is good news as it will be closer to me :D but, donny needs to extend the track (as said it is a bit narrow) and they deffinetly need more run offs, which is fine, but the only place to do this is to extend onto where the market is on a sunday, and guess who works on that market... me. so thats sunday job gone then...

there is also talk of the hotel being built where the market is... so id say the market is deffintly gone now then...

carbore:
Castle Coombe, much as I love it, is rather small.

In fact If I remeber rightly Donny is rather small (for F1), have done a few track days there and it was nice in the Elise (mmmmm Cranerr curves), but in F1 it would feel like a go kart track. Silverstone on the other hand feels HUGE!

And thats ignoring anything about facilities etc.

so Im cynical about it for now, sorry.

Unfortunately, I fear that after they've spent 100million making it F1 friendly it will lose the appeal as a bike circuit ~ too wide, no adverse cambers and no hump under the Dunlop bridge. I'm not even sure that an F1 car could get around the hairpin.

If we're talking about circuits that have hosted GP's before then why not Castle Combe or (dare I say it) Brands Hatch?

as with silverstone the prices will go up because it now has F1 status, which is crap really

the bikes will end up doing brands hatch or rockingham, which is an ok circuit but rubbish viewing of the in field
Id love them to do cadwel park as its my fav circuit!!

Damon/Stewart made very sad comments - bitter and twisted springs to mind

Im sorry to disagree, but donny is a rubbish circuit that will need millions of pounds to update it, unfortunatly silverstone has been loosing the F1 for some time now. suffice to say,  I wont be going

the one hundred million to update Donnigton is in place - Bernie has met the financiers - FACT!
