MOTOGP » Donington hits back at MotoGP loss

First of all, I'm pleased that motoGP is coming to silverstone.... However, not wishing to rain on anyones parade, the decision has nothing to do with whatever we think, as fans, but it would have been a purely financial decision. made on the fact that Silverstone tendered a better price for the event!!!! Now it so happens that we are the ones that benefit from Uncle Bernie f88king off to Donnington. we will get the better car/bikeparks, toilets, concession stands (on tarmac) and in my opinion better viewing (outside nuffield 2) I do hope however we also get the full gp circuit and not the mickey mouse internetional and they do something about the chicane (what i dont know)
thanks Gary

Well Donington Park you've got exactly what you deserve for years of ripping off the British Moto GP fans! Maybe if you'ld spent some money and improved the ridiculous "car park" section of the circuit - the part that splits the field up and produces poor racing, i'd have some symphathy for you. To be honest the rest of the circuit isn't too bad, so we could have had some cracking Brit GPs, just like we used to have at Silverstone ( 1979, 1981, 1983 250cc just to name a few.) NO GP at Donington EVER compared in excitement to those classic races!

"Since 1987 we have continually invested in MotoGP, emotionally as well as financially". Sorry I went there for 4 years and havnt bothered since 2006. The track is great to watch but the facillities for the fans are dire. People have been asking for covered stands and better toilets amongst other things but they have yet to recieve any. You can even tell the last time the loos were painted by the grafitti dating back a decade! Sorry Donnington but when you got the chance of hosting F1 you were all to keen to promise the world and bend over backwards whilst seeing pounds figures rolling over in you eyes. Lets see if youll live up to them like the promises you made to GP fans year after year.

Myself only to pleased the Moto GP is coming back to Silverstone,Seen many great Motorcycle GPs at Silverstone,Never seen a MOTO GP at Donnington but seen many other motorcycle events at the circuit,but i cant say i ever seen any great close racing at Donington,its one of the circuits that fails to produce exciting racing, they have had the Moto gp for many years,its time for change a change for the better in my opinion.

ISNT IT FUNNY THAT NOBODY HAS MENTIONED JAMES TOSELAND THEY ONLY MENTION VALE COMON HE IS THE BEST SINCE SHEENE IM SURE J.P.WOULD DO A BETTER JOB OF RUNNING DONNY AT LEAST HE THINKS ABOUT THE FANS

about time donny never thought about or tried to improve the facilities for the fans i just hope the wsb moves there and let them keep the f1 see how the fans of f1 like it no comparison to silverstone its a disaster brands loosing wsb the best meeting of the year

I went to Donington in 1987 for the first, as we called it back then GP, the place was packed and continued for nearly every years up until 1998 when the 18,000 turned up (it was like a club meeting attendance) blame Doohans killer performances in 500gP for that, so infact rossi has reignited peoples passion for MotoGP at donington, cos he is exciting and people want ot see that.

MotoGP is on it's ****, trust me, i have been following the world championships since 1981, i was even at Donington in 1990 when 4000 people turned up for the WSB meeting, look ar WSB now.

As soon as Rossi does one, MotoGP will loose it's special ingredient, we'd have been better off sticking with the 500's.

Commercial, commercial, commercial.

What about "the sport".

I've watched the 125/250 and MotoGP at Donnington and I liked the experience. I also like watching Donnington on the TV. For me the decision to leave it is a bad one as I think its a great motorcycle racing track.

You missed the point completely. It's about the fact of which circuit best suits the MotoGP, Silverstone is a car curcuit, it's a scalextric track boring as hell if you ride a bike, yeah fast in places but you can do that on a motorway. People who ride bikes like excitement, a challenge, a technical circuit like Donington, Cadwell and Oulton Park. I'm not bothered how long it takes to get out or what the food is like as they all have their problems. Show me a circuit where money has been spent in the UK, people go there to race not look pretty!!!!! Go to Muggello, the fans love their racing there, a 2.5 mile walk to the circuit on race day but they don't spit their dummy!!! F1 sucks

yayyyyyyyyyyy
no more portapotties...
Up yours donninton, bunch of shysters that you are, you can rob f1 fans now with your 5h1t3 now
