Superb, 42 miles from home instead of 200 to Pembrey.

I was awaiting confirmation before announcing that

Donington on a Bank Holdiay weekend

Checked both the Hottrax site and Donington sites yesterday and Hottrax again today but nothing up on either of those yet.
Trudi was helping on the Hottrax stand Yesterday and on the Show's opening Day which is when Dave mentioned it to her and he mentioned it to me when I spent some time hanging around the hottrax stand on Monday, but he did say he was waiting for confirmationbefore announcing it.

He did ask me what I thought about missing out on Pembrey. I told him some will miss the racing the track but not the long journey or the poor faclities if the alternative was Donington - Garages and Electric

Seems like a fair trade!! Pembrey is alright, but a little short and flat.... and miles from anywhere!! If I had to choose between the two it wouldn't be much of a decision (even though I did get my first (non-championship) win at Pembrey).

While I like Pembrey the saving in fuel costs will be most welcome.

Wow, love Pembrey but never done Donington. Really looking forward to it. Test day will be a must.

I do prefer it with the changes they made, 4 of us raced on it as it si now last November 2010 when testing the Dunlop tyres. Awesome circuit and still the only circuit where DD has had the Pace car out, although it was only for the Class B guys and gal
