Will Donnington still be operating by then ????

Last weekend;
Formula Palmer Audi - Blast in the Park cancelled
Fri 10th Apr 09 - 14:56

We regret to advise that the Formula Palmer Audi - Blast in the Park scheduled at Donington over the weekend of Saturday 18th and Saturday 19th April has been cancelled due to a dispute over regulatory issues. We are confident that these issues will be resolved in time for our busy race season this year


Yesterday Wheatcroft issued legal stuff as they owe him £2 million in rent and apparently they also owe the contractors

Maybe someone is hoping the Sedici riders will chip in for the rent.

I don't think the track license issue is a problem for track days as they are not santioned by the RACMSA, ACU etc. Trackdays are run at venues where no officially sanctioned motorsport takes place.

It could be an issue for the insurance companies who cover the trackdays though, they might have something to say if a track licence is only issued with certain conditions due to "safety" concerns.

Interestingly the various sanctioning bodies, RACMSA, FIA, ACU etc all seen to have a different opinion on the "safety" of the Track up near macleans/Coppice.
