    Default omg look at poor donington

    the previous owners have destroyed the place

    was looking forward to btcc there this year as its the day after my bday but cant see that happening

    film was made in march after a save donnington meeting and theres no way even if a new lease gets signed that will be up and running for september

    such a shame

    looks like Knockhill on a good day

    on a serious note it is pretty shocking.

    old owners (lease holders) had ideas and no way of fullfilling but started demolition anyway thinking they would borrow money on the back of the gp contract but then the credit crunch came so couldnt get credit so they went bust gp went back to silverstone and a once legendary track is left in ruins total nobs
