Rossi's unlucky start at least make it more interesting, he wont be winning this year with races still to go thats for sure. We will be going by car, since I cant ride yet and my 7 yr old is going too

HAVENT BEEN TO DONINGTON FOR A FEW YEARS NOW oops shouting :oops:
to be honest you can get the same kind of experience at home for a fraction of the cost
1.put a 14" TV in the corner and place a large mesh screen (or spare aviary mesh) 3 feet away from you
2.stand in the opposite corner as far away from the tv as you can, preferably behing some one at least 6" taller than you
3. have a mate p**s into a pint glass, call it lager and sell it to you for £5.00.
4. get aforesaid mate to spray you with a hose frequently
im sure i have missed something out
but brands is so much better from a spectators point of view even though its even bloody further for me to travel

Yup I will be there again this year,
think we are flying down to miss the horrendous traffic problem of last year with everybody stuck in fields for hours due to lack of organisation and stewards,
See you all there, maybe.
Cheers Heike

Gonna have to see how busy we are. I went 4yrs ago and that was great even got to meet rossi. I then went to Germany to watch what a circuit that was awesome much bigger than the uk one. Should be good at Donnington this year as they got all new paddocks and been re built.
We bought paddock passes as donnington sold them the year after I went and they cost £350ea. Where supposed to get you in the paddocks for the 2 days what a let down. Was just to get into the outer ring of the paddocks and hospitaliy that year got a refund.
sadly i'm working that weekend but shall be skiving to watch it on telly:)
i dont go watch gp's that much to be honest,do try to get to bsb as oft as possible tho
an as for saying rossi should've quit while ahead,yer a brave man to discount him from winning the title,did you see him in the last race???? i always think he rides better when hes got it to fight for anyway

word of warning though all ticket sales on this site go through ticket master:evil: go to contact page and buy direct from donnington ticket office. ticketmaster would have put £6 on a £6 childs sunday ticket:evil:

Never been to Donnington for the GP!
However been a couple of timed for the BSB, great time wsa had by all!
last day of season 2002?? Hizzy (RIP) vs reynolds? ( i think)
Went to the wire, great race!
But I do think the view of the race is much better at home!
Also no long traffic cues ;-)
