Curious on a lap time at Donnington in F1 - sorry it's probably already come-up.
Current F1, previous F1 as run at the one race they had at the circuit or a time for the new proposed layout?

I don't think any current or very recent cars have tested there (despite some interesting engine notes from time to time) so the best sort of guide might be from the Renault World Series event demo runs a few years back. Somewhere in the back of my mind is the figure 1:15 or 1:16. So assume on fully developed run that would be around 1:12.

Euroboss Benetton with 4ltr V10 Judd giving about 710bhp can do around 1:18 on the long circuit.

The new circuit simulation suggests a lap time of around 1:19 or 1:20. The circuit gains half a mile but loses the chicane.

Is that the sort of info you were looking for?
