Default Donington Circuit now owned by MSV

Donington Park to become MSV circuit | Evo

Should be good news although I'm supposed JP was allowed, given how many other circuits he owns.

I hope this doesn't mean the end of the unsilenced mixed (open wheel & closed wheel) test days at Donington.

Whilst MSV have done wonders for the facilities at the circuits they own, I'm not sure this is a good thing for the race series and TDO's having to compete with a near monopoly. I do wonder though, if Palmer did this deal rather than continue his Silverstone bid.

I hope they continue good relations with Bookatrack too, as they have really made an investment with the Caterham dealership, workshop base and the volume of trackdays they run. MSV are a lot more ' business' (money) oriented from what I've seen, although they have developed some of the more run down circuits.

It's about time you bought a circuit, Rich!

As long as they don't over exploit the monopoly and charge the earth

Its been a circuit which has struggled over the years. I think this should be good. They only own 6 dont they and bedford is just an airfield, there are loads of them.

fingers crossed, i love Donny
