last summer, i was in a local quarry, and there was a job on the board for a lot of stone for donington... the customer was FIA...... when i asked them about it, they got all cagey.... from that moment, i knew it was never going to happen... messrs mosley & ecclestone were so desperate to stuff silverstone that they hung on with that dreamer with his 'there's no need for car access, parking or camping' bollox the track was cut up for a reason, but they claimed it was for archaeological surveys. there was no way it would be ready in time, they haven't even started to dig footings for the pit complex...
TBH though look at the vid, 95% of the track is still as it was and untouched?
Its just the run offs/grass that theyve started work on.
I was expecting it to be in a worse state if im being honest.
But i do hope to do a Donny trackday again.
the trouble is that the infrastructure has gone, the track itself will be easy to fix, but the run offs, barriers & spectator areas have been ripped out
Exactly, so the important bit still remains.
The barriers etc etc can be replaced easily, its not like Donny was the most spectator friendly of places anyway so its a good thing if an improved Donny does eventually happen!
Fools, hope they get it sorted or get an agreement to get it sorted!!
unless someone takes on the lease it wont get sorted
tom wheatcroft died.... thus the driving force behind donington has gone. it cost him money to run, funded from his property development business, i'm guessing that the bean counters are saying no to a lot of projects at the moment
