DTM @ Donington

youngoldy · 30 Nov 2005, 15:51 (Ref:1473958)

Just a thought, if the DTM were to return whilst Paffett was still racing in the championship, would you British fans and fans from other nations come and watch, as there could be a chance that he could win?

The STIG · 30 Nov 2005, 15:54 (Ref:1473959)

You bet! especially if it was at Donnington.

The DTM has TBC date at Brands over Easter

pink69 · 30 Nov 2005, 16:05 (Ref:1473970)

That'd be more of a trek than Donny but I'd still go.

Ryo28 · 30 Nov 2005, 16:38 (Ref:1473999)

I'd go if it was at Donington (I went in 2002 and 2003), but Brands is a bit too far...

luke · 30 Nov 2005, 16:41 (Ref:1474002)

No. If it was Brands Hatch then anyday!

Make sense. Even it makes it more difficult for me to attend as that weekend is one of the biggest in the Western Re-enactment calender

Elio · 30 Nov 2005, 18:05 (Ref:1474071)

Aha, thanks flor (How do you know this then??!!), it does indeed make sense - I noticed the HSCC had had their Superprix shunted from July 1/2 to May 6/7 in the last week or so.....

youngoldy · 30 Nov 2005, 19:16 (Ref:1474102)

Noooooooooo!! My parents are going to of for hols on that date and that means I cant go

I went to watch the Champ Cars there in 02 I think it was, or 03, cant remember. I will have to start savin up for train down, as its like some 200 miles from where I live. Although my college marshall quite alot of events, so will ask...........

Hazard · 30 Nov 2005, 20:06 (Ref:1474134)

Brands I can do no sweat...Donington would require extra effort, but I'd find a way! (Unless it's the Mercedes Touring Masters...

)

The STIG · 30 Nov 2005, 20:39 (Ref:1474158)

The problem is is that everywhere is always going to be to far away from everyone.

Remus · 30 Nov 2005, 20:41 (Ref:1474159)

I went to Germany to cheer on the Brits this year so the answer has to be yes!

Simon_1983 · 30 Nov 2005, 21:15 (Ref:1474178)

If it comes to the British shores Im there.

Also planning on 2 trips during the season.

(all dependant on if Audi enter for the cross country treks)

Alfaholic · 30 Nov 2005, 22:08 (Ref:1474213)

I've seen them on their previous visits to Donington & Silverstone in the past, so it would be interesting to see how they cope with Brands. My personal preference would be Donington however.

youngoldy · 1 Dec 2005, 20:32 (Ref:1475051)

Has there been a decision on whether they will use the Indy or GP circuit? If they use the GP circuit, I will have to watch at Hawthprn, will be blindingly fast. If Indy, then has to be Paddock.

Kidzer · 1 Dec 2005, 20:44 (Ref:1475062)

If it was donny me and dad would definetley go I think, but Brands it a bit too far..

As far as I am aware it will probably be the GP loop

I've only missed two of them so far through unavoidable circumstances. The first two as spectator, the remainder as a marshal. It's one of very few series that I would consider travelling to almost anywhere in the country to attend. Why? Fantastic cars, awesome racing, approachable teams and drivers and plenty of appreciation for the marshals. If a series will go out of it's way to make me welcome, I'll go out of my way to assist.

Alex Hodgkinson · 1 Dec 2005, 22:37 (Ref:1475183)

A ten minute drive across country to see DTM.. you bet!

luke · 1 Dec 2005, 22:41 (Ref:1475187)

By the sounds of things they should hold two rounds, one at Brands and the other at Donni Lol.

Who would argue with that? Although it's not gonna happen.

Plane to Gatwick, hire a car and you're laughing tbh.

Its not far in the grand scheme of things

**BertMk2** · 2 Dec 2005, 09:41 (Ref:1475456)

I went to see the DTM at Donnington in 2003, that was a long day but well worth it. Brands is half an hour away so that would be fantastic - I just hope the series doesn't collapse before then.....

Bodysnatcher · 2 Dec 2005, 11:29 (Ref:1475551)

I marshalled the DTM at Donnington in 1991, that was a long cold weekend but well worth it. Brands is less 5 minutes away so that would be fantastic - I just hope the series doesn't collapse before then.....

apologies to BertMk2, but it saved a lot of typing
