It's been announced that 2015 MotoGP will be at Donington Park. I think this is great news and we will be going for the full 4 days with Day of Champions to show our support for this great circuit.

Much better atmosphere at Donington then Silverstone but the access in and out is terrible.
Can't see there being a British GP in a few years time as Silverstone seem pretty pissed off about being dropped and that whole circuit of Wales thing has got financial disaster written all over it. ____________________ Yamaha FZR400RR 3tj

Agreed. Me and the missus were on the bike and it was awful getting out and we didn't leave until almost half six. The car traffic was horrendous, so being on two wheels and being able to filter etc was a blessing, but it was hard fucking work just with the volume of traffic still leaving. If I'd have thought on we would turned right out of the exit from Redgate and caught the A50. Wouldn't have saved much time but would've got rid of a lot of the stress associated with so much congestion.
Some of the driving standards we encountered on the ride back up north on the M1 was nothing short of laughable too. Don't they realise that tailgating and brake dabbing causes so many problems? Fuckwits. ____________________ Responsibility. It's a difficult reality for some. I'm running the 2014 Sheffield Half Marathon on behalf of Bluebell Wood Childrens Hospice.

Looks like there'll be no British round of MotoGP this year!
Donnigton and Circuit of Wales have had a tiff and Donny won't be taking up the slack.

Just saw this on crash.net - https://www.crash.net/motogp/news/214544/1/donington-breaks-off-british-motogp-deal.html
That's a shame, I was looking forward to Donington this year as I've never been!
Not sure if I want to go to Silverstone for the third year in a row.
Suggests to me that CoW undercut Silverstone by an amount they deemed to be unsustainable. Now Dorna is left without a GP in the UK, with Silverstone the only venue capable of holding one.
I guess they were right. ____________________ Current: Yamaha FZ1 '07 | GSXR 750 SRAD

So, the basics are:
Taff say "Jones the builder haven't got a shovel yet"
Donny say "We'll lend you ours, just to piss off Silverstone, you bring the bottles"
Taff then realise they haven't got a snowballs chance in Hell of building anything because they "aven't cleared the sheep away from the Common, isn't it?" yet - much less in time for a 2016 round.
Donny say "Where's the bottles"
Taff look at their welly boots, and wring their hands a bit
...
Silverstone profit
Yes? |

Google maps says that by road it will take 6 hours without traffic to get to the circuit of Wales and 7.5 to le Mans for me. Plus whatever delays you encounter at the tracks themselves. Either way I doubt I'd travel that far to either just to watch MotoGP. If I was I'd rather fly out to one of the Spanish or Italian rounds and have a mini holiday. ____________________ Yamaha FZR400RR 3tj

CoW getting the deal for 5 years before it was built was very, very odd. I live in Wales and have had the joy of working for WG, no one in Wales seems to have much experience of putting big projects together.
Knew it wouldn't happen soon but it's still an arse. Would have been a 2 hour ride instead of 6 And some great routes for the Riders for Health ride-in on the Thursday |

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 9 years, 107 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
