There's a very early programme here http://www.driversknow.co.uk/greatBr.../donington.pdf but I think that's all you'll probably find for now....

I've always thought that anyone who puts 'parades' or 'demonstrations' into a race meeting needs a good slap. After Sunday's nonsense (How many Minis can you get on the track at one time?) I'm going to upgrade the action to beheading.

In future the presence of parades on a timetable will be (like long races) a factor in whether I attend or not.

Regards

Jim

Thankyou! Thankyou! Finally someone who realizes what a waste of time it is. Why would you do it in the first place?? Dinner Breaks are supposed to be the time for a BREAK! between races not to watch more cars driving round.

Thanks Jim!!

The grids weren't to bad the Biduro had less with only about 15 cars but the Enduro had almost a full grid. And i couldn't think of a better sound. Lovely Machines!!

The Radical grids were quite low, especially the Biduros. That said they have not been particularly good this year.

Sport Maxx grid had a good variety of cars but did anyone else feel that a minimum 45 second stop for driver change was too long?

Lol i was thinking that. Perhaps they got bored and never carried on. Or maybe problems with the cars.
