MOTOGP » Donington delighted with calendar slot

I bet it rains. lol

I've been to Donington and Phillip Island and Phillip Island is by fat the best.

revsak, Valencia is the opposite of Donington - excellent organisation but mostly a go-kart track. It's worth a trip so long as you get tickets for a section that overlooks a decent part of the circuit - probably the section after turn one. And don't get seats too low down - you need some height to get a better view of the wider circuit, so probably about half way up the banking is good. Anyone else care to comment?

If you only go to one European MotoGP round in your life make it Jerez. The camping is rough and ready but who cares when you get a three day non-stop party in the sun with 130,000 other fans for about 80 Euros with reserved grandstand seats.

Valencia was fabulous, parking was great, very little queuing, food wasn't too great tho' and coffee very expensive, but view of track was excellent and stewards very friendly!
Donington this year was a shambles, was waiting at entrance for Esses when some guy said other gates had opened and they weren't 'ready' nearly had a riot on their hands as people from other gates were getting to Esses spots, also they left up tents etc from night before so people could 'reserve' a spot, they've never done this before and it was totally unfair on us who queued from early hours.
They really need to work on their crowd facilities if F1 is going to stay there.

Biggest annoyance for me at Donny was that they wouldn't let you in the track near the campsite for the whole weekend, barring sunday of course. There were people at the gates so why not let people through? Felt like they were just doing it to wind people up. Instead had to walk all the way around to the main entrance! Gits! Although i will be going because i can't help myself....
