You obviously got very wet then! I seem to remember that Senna drove a superb wet race and won.

Shame about Silverstone but I do think the trackside viewing is better at Donnington as Silversone is so flat that you can never see very much of the circuit.

Yeah, saw on BBC earlier.

That means I dont have to become a hermit for the GP weekend

Downside of Donington, I don't think it will make a good GP circuit.

Its not a bad GP circuit but, access is worse than Silverstone!

Now that was a great race with the man showing everyone how to drive a wet race on slicks.....

Of course by the time the GP arrives at Donington there will be a new dual carriageway serving just the cct from the M1.

Dream on.....its not even in the planning yet so will take at least another 25 years!

Easy from the M42/A42

Not when there is an event on its not, clogs the motorway, A42, A50, A453 and you need to add an extra 2 hours to your journey if going to the airport....and thats just when the bikes is on!

glad its leaving silverstone,i have always hated the place.donington is (imo)a really nice track but they couldnt run a bath.every year the organisation/facilities at the bike grand prix are a disgrace and every year they promise they will get it right next year.the f1 race is a much bigger event so it could easily overwhelm them very quickly. i would love to see it back at brands,i love the place.

Queued long enough to get to MotoGP to know that F1 will be a disaster until every A and B road round there is dual carriageway. Like the A43 is now. (Thanks Bernie...)

Yes, it's a better spectator circuit but - as said on BBC earlier - it's too narrow. You've got to think that Silverstone is a better driver's track and more exciting TV.

A long bet, but I think F1 will be back at Silverstone in 2021.

Was at Barcelona in ’96 as well, when Schumacher won in the wet.  First and last one the wife went.  

Interesting to see what upgrades they have planned for the circuit.

i agree. beautiful track. but is it not a bit narrow for the wider f1 cars they use today. and it's a shame its in kent.

Personally, i think Bernie is loosing his marbles.
Cant see anyway that this is a positive move for f1 fans. I have spectated and track dayed(on a bike)  both circuits over the years and silverstone is without doubt the better venu, dony is much to narrow for f1 cars to over take, access is a joke, facilitys very poor, and the attitude of the place gets right up my nose.
 The best place to view dony for me is down craner curves. I would rather watch f1 cars through the complex at s.stone myself.
To ride tho, s.stone just about wins but is more expensive, pay your money, make your choice.

Not that good a track for the cars though and its in a bloody awful place to get to for 95% of the population.

So, very pleased they have continued with somewhere central in the Uk which is where these major once a year big sporting events need to be.
