Wez Posted December 26, 2007 Author Share Posted December 26, 2007 Donington has a pretty big carpark. I will get there about mid day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L_800OST Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 it has loads of diffent car parks, do they let you go into the pits parking area or the bit where the campers go? one of the best views is redgate if the pub is open but it only opens for busy days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 it has loads of diffent car parks, do they let you go into the pits parking area or the bit where the campers go? one of the best views is redgate if the pub is open but it only opens for busy days Go into the big center carpark in the infield then you can see half the circuit. Theres an entrance from the pits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have just been looking through his thread's started and i cant find the spoiler one that i think i remember. At marham he had his black stock 17's on with track tires so finger crossed. Who else from the forum went? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missile Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Yay. R5 turbo. Sorry. Looks like a spin off. I would say hope its not a member, But would not want anyone to do that kind of damage to a supra. Plus Track insurance can be so expensive. Hope who ever it was walked out shaken and nothing else :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzaGSi Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Was there today too and seen the supe on the back of a trailor. Felt absolutely gutted seeing it. Hope the drivers alright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockys96 Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 although its a any decibel day. the weather isnt appropiate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 the weather isnt appropiate Depends how much restraint you have, I've done Donington in some awful weather and had lots of fun, you just have to remember that it's not a game and there is no reset button Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike B Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 I came off at donnington and I slid a long way, was only about 3 meters from the barrier when it all stopped. The day were there last year a tvr, atom and a few others did serious damage. Gutted for this guy; pretty sure it was not Wez, those wheels look anti-wez, and that does not look like a stock front bumper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bignum Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 I managed to get on for the afternoon, wasnt to bad realy, there was a dry line appeared but off that line it was very slippy. I dont think the crashed supra was anyone on here, it looked pretty bad,i think there were 4 cars that come unstuck. Me and wes had some fun laps vids to follow later.

Mike B Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 A sierra cossie did exactly the same thing mate but hit the wall,, looked bad also, an expensive day out there then! that long wide corner just before the first straight....?? the one that encorages you to try putting a bit more power down earlier, with what looks like lots of run off?? it's a good corner but if you put a wheel off the drypatch you need one of those balls on your steering wheel, and you are right at the top of 3rd (90 ish?) when i got out of the car there it was like "time team" of motor racing; there were small bits of cars sprinkled all across the grass. I trust you had fun? a bit more practice for you in the wet... look forward to the vids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
