Donington Park Circuit

Description

Donington Park is the old circuit in the UK which is still in operation. It was first used for motor racing in 1931 using the roads of the Dinington Hall estate.

Donington Park is one of the most internationally renowned and historically significant circuits in the world, and continues to host numerous national and international events. The circuit offers drivers long straights and swooping corners, which makes for exciting and competitive racing.

The circuit has benefited from a multi-million pound programme of improvements prior to the 2018 season from new operator MSV. Changes included extensive resurfacing of paddock areas and internal roads, a number of new toilet blocks, a new circuit office, a new grandstand overlooking Hollywood corner and a stunning new bar and restaurant in the heart of the paddock – Garage 39. Facilities and infrastructure are being modernised throughout 2019.

Donington Park hosts a wide variety of championship events including, the KwikFit British Touring Car Championship, British GT and F3, British Truck Racing, the Donington Historic Festival and the Classic Motorcycle Festival. Many top class club level championship events also take place here.
