DONINGTON PARK GP CICUIT £155 8/12/24. Open pitlane

Post by Conan »

Rare chance to drive the iconic GP circuit which includes the Melbourne loop which is great, I have raced at this circuit in this format.
Garage and extra driver £40 each, I assume that is a garage share due to the size of them
Who’s up for it ? It would be nice to have a few of us there.

I can't see a track day on either of those dates on their calender. Who is the TDO?

If you go on to https://www.trackdays.co.uk/calendar/ca ... gJvE_D_BwE
This site shows :
Saturday 7th Dec National circuit OP £159
Sunday 8th Dec GP circuit OP £155
The Donington web site only shows the Saturday one https://www.donington-park.co.uk/calendar/trackdays/car

I am going to contact both sites to clarify the situation, I posted early to calculate interest knowing that the Saturday was there for backup.
It's someones birthday so I will do one of the days and probably do the museum as well which is fantastic if you've never been there before
There's a Radison Blue with pool close by :D
So are you guys in :?:

I'll look at going to this with my girlfriend. I've been before with the first rx8 which was 20 years ago and not the full GP circuit.

Looks like it's nearly booked up on opentrack website but I'm no longer interested.

We booked the Brands Hatch track day with the gang
I did consider driving straight up to Donington from Brands Hatch
I would recommend the GP circuit if people get the chance having raced on both configurations
I will look at this again next year
