Very nice circuit, one of my favourites, the Nova loved it, but it was CP's and his car looks good on any track!

Its 1 of the best circuits I've driven. Craner curves are great for a Nova being light and manoeuvrable - a lot of bigger stuff comes unstuck at the bottom of them.

Donington is one of the most fun tracks i have driven, and as said before probably one of the most suited to do in a nova.

As for the curves CP, I was racing a gt porsche down the back straight went for the brakes and hey there wasnt any! Carried that much speed round the bends i got past the porsche on the pit straight :lol:

I will be up for a track day there later in the year if a few people fancy doing a day with togeather??

being as the track is just down the road from me i suppose i should make the effort to go and have a blast round ?140 is alot of money for me though :(
