"The redevelopment of the Donington Park circuit is well underway with good progress made on the new pit and paddock complex, as shown by the first picture, right.

The work means a total of 12 more pit garages, bringing the total to 38, plus a new office suite for race control, time-keeping, administrative personnel and the media at events. Plus the multi-purpose Paddock Suite is doubling in size for the media office for the british MotoGP round, conferences, small exxhibitions, functions and corporate hospitality.

The work started in october 2005, and will cost around £5 million. It's scheduled for completion on April 1st, ready for the British Superbike round on April 7-9, 2006."

Just in time for trackdat season too! Very Happy

They were hardly bad before... I'll be expecting showers, SkyTV, a pool table and a minibar in the new ones!

Nar, you got the wrong end of the stick form my pervious comment, they were fine touse, etc. I just meant compared to the rest of the world stage in MotoGP our national track looked a bit dogged!
