The track was dangerous at dono, the drivers kept insisting that there was still oil on the track a lot wider than the original slick
Speaking professionally as a geologist, vermiculite (type of clay) should work very well in this situation. As a driver, all I can say (race before that - Oldies But Goldies) it was flippin slippy when it rained - always is at Donington - I suspect that the rain brings down suspended AvGas from the takeoffs at East Midlands - I think it also brings it out of the tarmac - Mcleans was particularly bad this time (you can guess that I spun there ;-).
