Sounding out Donington Grand Prix Collection - Interested?

Wheelchair · 6th September 2008, 18:54

Just wondering if anyone fancies a meet at the Donington Park circuit to look at the Formula One car collection.

All the cars there are real working examples and cover the period from before the start of the Formula One world championship up to the present day.

Obviously an interest in Formula One would be good as someone who's not into it may be a little bored!

This is where Donington is for those who don't know....

Donington Park Motor Racing Circuit

Wont organise anything yet with regard to dates etc, have to see if there's any interest first.

Let me know your thoughts

Cheers

i wouldn't mind going to Donnington, I've never been there.

Same here, I'd be up for it depending on when its arranged for

Once there is plenty of interest we could decide a date, maybe do a poll and see what day comes out on top.

From previous visits I would say that the best day would be a weekday, I've been three times before and there was only a couple of people there. Makes it easier to see the cars if its not crowded.

Sorry Wheelchair, it's times like this I wish I was still based in the UK. If I was I would have been up to going

I live 1 mile from Donington circuit and the collection is well worth a visit. When I went about 18months ago it was about £6 to get in and you could loose at least 4 hours there. Well worth a visit if you've got the time. As it's just out the front door, I woukld certainly be interested in seeing it again!
