But the massive run offs mean the cars are far too distant to engage - the only place now worth watching at , to get a close , immersive view is either side of the chicane .

I went to many early meetings at Donington - F2 , Gunnar Nilsson Trophy etc and the contrast , then and now , is enormous, especially at Redgate and Old Hairpin is immense. All that work in vain , for a 21st Century GP which never happened

Cadwell, Goodwood and Brands are light years better.

Agreed. Sitting in the new stand watching cars skitter round Redgate through a pair of binoculars is entertaining though.
