Guys don't go getting there too early as there's formula super league racing there today with a expected crowd of 50,000 people.

Might be advisable to stop for a pub meal before you get there to allow time for the traffic to leave and the garages to empty

carcking day with a bit of damp thrown in.
donington what a cracking circuit,i do love the craner curves nothing like sweeping round the outside of someone on the way down.
the novice group had a big mix of experience and i quite enjoyed having a play with a few of the faster one's.
the only downside was some riders braking halfway down craners and messing up your lines :roll: :roll: :roll:
had a bit of a problem with some guy on a mille :lol: :evil: :lol: but all in a great day.

sorry we left u lot behind on the way home but i didn't fancy a trundle home and i managed to keep up with the smilers in our strangled van.
