Good viewing spots at Donington
I'm being treated to a day out at BTCC at Donington this weekend, but I've only ever worked in the pits and never been a spectator there before. Can anyone advise on what will be good places to go around the track to see the best action? I promise to wave to you all ......
Thanks in advance Marion |

I also was marshaling from the old hairpin for the btcc last year and watching them come down though the craners is pretty amazing Hope you have a good time there, gutted I am not going this year all because it clashes with easter! Last edited by Johansen2000; 16 Apr 2014 at 21:50. |

Where Starkey's bar used to be. After Old Hairpin, up on the bank. See from Hollywood to McLeans.

Many years ago when I was a spectator I used to like Hollywood, between 4 and 6.

Great call to watch from Hollywood, thanks for the recommendation. We watched 2 of the 3 BTCC from there, and admired all the quick and efficient work to sort everything out. Shame about the rain early on, I hope you all managed to dry out. Hello again to all those I managed to a
have a quick chat with. Cheers Marion |
