i just didn't like the way it went. never felt comfy on it.

before the piss takers chime up, yes it was drizzly but even then i just didn't like it. craners is overrated and the loop is a novelty.

give me cadwell or anglesey any day - have done both in less than perfect conditions and would still take that over a dry donny.

Pussy.

Not much wrong with Donington. Just the Melbourne loop really. Much better to do the National circuit when it comes up instead of the GP. Oh and the delays as always Red flagged sessions – people like to crash there.

I like Donny, only done it twice, but thought it was a great track, and hope to do it again next year, but can't in Feb.
Just remember Redgate is a really late entry or you'll run wide on the exit :-bd

Did donny this year on Feb 28th, was lovely weather but as it's the 1st day of the year there it's packed.

As said plenty of red flags too. That said was thinking of booking this too, will let you know.
