well this is what I wrote on a differnt site, pretty much sums up how i feel,
Well Its a massive suprise that Donington has the British Gp from 2010, there was rumors that it would replace Sliverstione for a year if re-devlopment took to long. I was under the impression that It would be extemely difficult for any other track other than Sliverstone to host the Race, because of the huge changes needed to bring upto F1 spec, money, and strict Noise restrictions.
Donington has a lot of work to do between now and 2010 to get the track upto the standereds needed for F1, the run off areas for pretty much of the whole of the second part of the lap needs to be increased and proberly re laid too, i.e Gravel Traps and the grass areas, Also a lot of the barriers need to be replaced, brought upto date and need to have a lot more tyre barriers put in place, there are a couple of places where theres a hard conctrete wall, where and F1 car could crash hard and possibly cause injury, Also facitiltes need to improved dramatically too, Sliverstone isnt exactly best and has been critiszed by Bernie for it too and donington, isnt even on the standers of Sliverstone. Donington isnt exactly Flush with Cash so where the money is goint to come from I dont know, Our goverment has wanted to put funds into British Motorsport, and with the Credit Crunch here, they are not going to start now either, Politics between the BDRC and Bernie means Bernis himself dosen't excatly wants to put money into the British GP either so the descison to move Donington bemuses me a little.
On the plus points, The circut Layout os great, a techincal circut for the first part of the lap, with the Craner curves, which are a challenge for any car, and overtaking possibalityes into the final part of the lap with the to haipins at the end of the circuit. Also spectator viewing is better at Donginton is a lot better to, Sliverstone because it is based at an air field base, means its is one of the worst places in Britian to actually to goto and watch racrs, because you are so far away from the action. Donington is a lot better in that respect. If Donington get the funding and make the proper changes correctly, I think it would be a great circuit to go to, but has i said above they have a lot of work to do to get there.
