Looking at those pics of Donington, they seem to have lost the assembly area used if the Melbourne loop is in use ?

The fence that enclosed the collection area was sort of attached to the end of the wall that has been demolished. Was a bit tatty too..

The tarmac of that area occupied by some of the construction plant and materials last time I was there. It's just beyond the vehicles driving in to the paddock in the second image.

I sort of wonder how that section is going to work once done but it seems likely the collecting area won't move far for the coming season.

Mon Ami Robert, did you read the reference to a superhero? Looking at the modifications made to the painting, its seems that his cape slipped down to his hips! Superman? Fussy!

How long before they take the wheelchair logo out of the Disabled Parking Bays?

I have a Blue Badge after breaking 5 bones in my spine but don't use a wheelchair so maybe I should complain

If one is bone idle and hate to walk any further than necessary, then I should be catered for. A reserved spot right next to the checkout.

In comparison we're lucky here, we have a new version of The Muppet Sow and none can doubt of how deep the governing body is involved!

Lancs and some Alfa fans, I'm trying to upload a "wiper" video from our GTAM Luxembourg friends fighting hard at Spa 2016 during the first laps. Couldn't imagine what a hassle it is…
