I take it we don't have to 'hire' the track for this? (we need a smiley for question Mr PG)

Either way count me in  :wink:

Noooo, too expensive to hire the actual track.  But you can still mooch around the paddock and circuit if there are any meetings, even track days.

I only mentioned Donnington because it is really central, has a superb museum, has some great roads, and is near to some big towns too.
