12 agree. 6 disagree.

I hate Donington. I hate the crap facilities, the slagheap viewing mounds, the boring racing it invariably produces, I hate their contempt for the fans, I hate their greed, their obscenely priced burgers, the advertising hoardings blocking any decent viewing points, their annual excuses, I hate them, and I''m glad they''ve got F1 cos they will get so much **** from Ecclestone and F1''s prawn sandwich eating punters.
My only wish now is that they lose Motogp, which I suspect they will smuggly dump, and it can go to Silverstone (I''d prefer Brands Hatch but thats never going to happen). Yeah, its flat, and an airfield, but the racing will be so much better.

With Formula 1 heading to Donington Park, Silverstone are set to step up their campaign to poach MotoGP too.

I wonder, if the paddock is small for MotoGP, how is going to be enough for F1?

Oh dear, lets hope the paddock is too small for F1

The landscape and layout at Donington makes it a fantastic track for spectators, far superior to Silverstone, which is flat and featureless. There is excellent viewing all the way from Redgate round to Coppice. Foggy Esses to the Melbourne Loop is not bad either! If you choose your spot carefully, it's possible to see far more than the corner and one straight that is all you get at Silverstone.

For spectators a move to Silverstone would not be good. There are other issues that need to be addressed - paddock, public access and re-working the 'car park section' but maybe the F1 money would accelerate this. Just keep Bernie Ecclestone away from the place.

s
ever thought that maybe after queuing for the top of the range portal loos the thought of a dodgey prawn sarnie may not be so applealing...
now maybe if they made the drivers have one before the race it may get just a touch more exciting.....

I hope the Moto GP doesnt move to Silverstone - what a boring spectacle that will be. F1 there was bad enough!

Donnington for me is one of the more exciting of the GP races, so to move away from there would be devestating to the championship.

It's almost like the last race of the season not being at Valencia! it's just wrong!

Brands Hatch should be the home of the Motogp but there's more chance of Elvis calling a press conference to announce his return from the planet orgazoid than that happenning

Don't count it out I was on orgazoid last week and saw him working in a chip shop

So the end result is a great circuit like Donnington will get mutilated to fit in with F1
& the best motorsport in the world will have to put up with Silverstone
Donnington is a bike circuit that is good for tin top 4 wheelers & lower formula single seaters
Silverstone is a car circuit

& as for brands.....
Well IMHO it's a go kart track that is only conveniently placed for people in the London area & the south of England
