Donington Park
Having seen the layout of the proposed changes to Donington park. I hope they can get the right to hold the European GP.
Donington Park deserves a GP. |

Yep, Donington should be given another Euro GP.

Donington is a great circuit and really should be the home of the European GP.

In my opinion the European Grand Prix should move around Europe every year - not returning to the same venue within ten years. This would then give a chance for other countries (ie Holland) to host a GP. Or, with all these new tracks in Russia, Middle East etc, make one round tour around the world?

The changes include making a super-long straight by bypassing the current Fogarty's Esses (going straight on) and building a new loop at the bottom of that straight (using space by demolishing the current pits).
They are also making Coppice tighter, and putting in a mickey mouse chicane thing on the exit of Goddards. |

I feel as though there should not be a European GP. Each country should only have one race. Give Donington the Brit GP.

Thankfully, mac, Donington seems set to avoid the disaster of winning the GP deal... look at what they're doing to every half decent track to bring it up to 'standards'...
And I hate the fact that they're getting rid of the Esses at Donny - my vote would have been to reinstate the original Melbourne loop... now *that* would have been classy...! |
