I was fortunate to attend the first meeting at the re-opened Donington and unlike Derek Brown above I can say that the facilities then were excellent,all brand new,covered toilets,a then impressive paddock and wonderful viewing from virtually all the way around the track.Yes as time has moved on these facilities have not improved and at a recent private test day I was apalled at the present state of the infrastructure.To say it was awful from day one is simply not true however as one who at the time('77) had to endure the offerings at Oulton,Mallory and Silverstone can confirm.The biggest problem like mosr British tracks is that they have had no state funding and cannot therefore compete.
