Local residents must be happy. Golf course? Airport extention? Great super moto/rally car tarmac/mud track at the moment no doubt. Someone will come up with some readies - they have to (please)

Mood: R U thinking what I'm thinking?......Oh dear!
Not sure who is gonna take it on though. I wouldn't be so sure that Jonny Palmer's mob would want to rent it. They own Brands, Cadwell, Oulton and Snetterton (they have big plans for Snetterton) and a big autodrome at Bedford.

Donington

No Bike GP
No car GP

Jonny P's mob wouldn't pay for World superbikes at Brands this year so why would they take it on if it came with Donnington?

Other Issues

Whinging locals (noise surprisingly enough)
**** access for really big meetings, I know I've sat in the Queues.
Noisy neighbours, the airport.

I really hope it does open again some time in the not too distant future, a great circuit.

Not sure how the ownership is currently set up but maybe Tom's recent passing does make things a bit more complicated.

Whatever, will there be any racing or trackdays there in 2010?

I could'nt care less if the place never opens again.
The circuit might have been great to ride around but for spectators it was pretty grim.
Nah,Silverstone can have the F1/MotoGP and Brands can have the WSB.

I'm with Keefy - Good riddance to Donington.
F1 to Silverstone, WSB to Brands and MotoGP to the Isle of Man.
OK the last one is not an option, so how about MotoGP at the NW200?
