Yay, I'm already getting WSB withdrawal shakes

[Croddman]

Im glad that Donington is coming back

spent many years watching the racing there, until that muppet brought the track to distory it for F1 but then only to run out of money

shame the dunlop bridge has gone though

Good for Donington but hosting a race, in England, in March.... are WSB bikes allowed snow chains ?

but in august they have a 8hr world endurance championship round there

WEC doesn’t work in this country.

Last one there was 1000km in 1987 and was a spectator disaster as was Brands and Silverstone in 2001 and 2002. So few turned up for Silverstone that they kept the main stands lock so they wouldn’t have to clean them before Supers the following week. The people that did turn up couldn’t actually see the start and finish.

We came 2nd though. which was nice.

I think a lot of that is down to lack of correct advertising. They need to do the same as Le mans & the Bol, and get a fairground in, plenty of side-shows, bands, etc., and emphasise the "weekend long party" for the price of a single ticket ......
