Re: Starkeys parking at donnington
Starkeys viewing isn't too bad tbh, you can see them coming down Craner Curves and round the old Hairpin but then they'll vanish beneath the bridge. If you go on the infield you can see Craner, Starkeys, Schwantz and McLeans and a bit of the run up to Coppice.
Why is this thread asking about parking at Starkeys? You can't park anywhere near it!
Be prepared to spend ages queuing to get out of wherever you're parked, the circuit empties onto one single carriageway road The people shouting that the GP should return there conveniently overlook that little aspect of the day.. in 2004 a mate of mine from Leicester spent a total of 7 hours queuing to get in and out of Donington for MotoGP. Why not go on a bike? people asked... well, it's a bit difficult to take your family on a bike...

Re: Starkeys parking at donnington
I was also in the carpark for 7 hours! Soaked to the bone as well.
We like foggy's esses as a few passes, [censored] ups and spinning it out but I believe it's the National circuit.
Personally I don't think there's any bad spots, just all slightly different. Watching a Ducati's wheel fall off at goddards, carnage at redgate, looking down towards crainers and the old hairpin from the infield. Even where the dunlop bridge used to be was good.

Having recently done Donnington on a track day just before BSB thinking of heading back for WSB as what a fantastic place.
