Formula Renault and Donington Festival weekend
Is anyone going to be in attendance for this weekend's Renault racing at Donington? I read somewhere that all 150,000 tickets allotted are taken!!!
Are the Formula Renault 2.0 Eurocup series and UK series combining for the weekend? As from what I gather they are both going to be there... any news or predictions for the weekend? I think this is looking to be a fantastic weekend of racing... cheers! |

The National and Eurocup grids are running seperately. Are any of the UK guys entered in the Eurocup?

Most of the 150,000 tickets are for sale on ebay!
I reckon they'll be 15,000 max there on Sunday, I'm going - quite looking forward to it as it should be something a bit different. |

I'd be surprised if there is 50,000 spectators there to be honest although I await to be proven wrong.
As I've said many people have orderded extra, extra tickets...there's thousands for sale on ebay and I'm sure there's many people with tickets just kicking around that they're not going to use. Just because they have a ticket doesn't mean they're actually going to go the meeting. As you've quite rightly said the BTCC attracts normally 15,000 spectators and thats a big-high profile meeting. Even last years title decider only had 20,000 and if my memory serves me correct wasn't there either free/discounted tickets on sale for that meeting then? The British racing public are fickle, they'll only turn out in force for F1...anything else isn't really seen as worthwhile unless on the whole your a hardcore fanatic. |

 I can only be described as a hardcore fanatic! I don't know if there were free/discounted tickets at BTCC last year, but I have been to Donny before when there were free tickets for the UK Frenault winter series and Eurocup in 2003, and even at that meeting there was quite a few spectators. I am expecting this to be one of the biggest meetings I have been to bar F1, yet I just can't imagine, as you say, to be 50,000 there. But just because of the sheer number of tickets, my prediction is that there will be around 30,000 there at least. |

No Gaz you're not...and the sooner you realise you're not right in every circumstance the better!
I've just had a look Russfeld and made it over 50....lots of people are offering 4 / 6 tickets at a time. |

Rules don't allow british FR series competitors to run in the Eurocup.Was thought they would have an unfair advantage.Only brit currently entered for the Eurocup is Pippa Mann who is a back marker. Her team mate Westley Barber is ill,and they are looking for a replacement.
Only thing there to attract a crowd is some F1 demos,and of course they will not be by current F1 drivers who will be busy at Spa. Wonder how many people sent off for tickets before they realised it would mean missing a GP? |

Well obviously if the races are alongside each other it'd be pretty difficult anyway...but have the rules changed recently then? It's been done before, last one I remember is Manor in 2003 at Hockenheim but sure there's been some more recently than that.

I can't believe some of you are sad enough that you went on and counted how many sellers are on ebay! There have been 4 pages of Renault World Series tickets for sale for the past 2 months...sorry seen as we're being so picky there might have been 999 not 1000 though I didn't count for certain - my error!
And Suze, you really DO need to lighten up...you take everything well too seriously! Anybody that dares question your immense knowledge.... |

I lost count to be fair...
 And did I disagree with your original statement? No, I agreed with you. Don't complain I haven't bowed down to you because I've previously questioned the fact you're right every time as you claim... |

I did....but I have messages from you somewhere proclaiming you're always right in each and every circumstance!
If you want to continue this discussion, let's take it to pm rather than here and nothing to do with World Series at all. |
