We were supposed to be racing there 4/5 Sept (wedding weekend) but somehow with the change of ownership our race date got booked over with someone elses and we got dropped!

I like the circuit for spectating but the facilities were a bit old? always had problems getting out at the end of the day though. May not be going to the btcc there this year then.

I found it a bit dull after about 10 laps, as it was a bit short.

But the condition of the track was very good.

The route in / out was a gravel track from memory though!

That's because you weren't going fast enough!

That's a really depressing vid.

Donny isnt my fave circuit in the UK, in fact its a fair ways down but its still sad to see it in that state.

I hope it doesnt go the way of the property developers, that would be a travesty.

Absolutely.

Mark, if you don't feel like you're going to die every time you turn into Craner, you're doing something wrong
