To be fair, my experience is based on four visits to Donington and two to Silverstone so it may just be I've been lucky on the Donington days and unlucky on the Silverstone ones.

Plus I did the Donington journeys on public transport and the Silverstone ones as a passenger in someone else's car...

They SAY £100m will be invested. Let's wait and see shall we.

As for grandstands and the like, there's not many at present. I can think of one small grandstand opposite the start/finish line, but not much else. The general spectator viewing areas, especially down by the Old Hairpin, are far better than Silverstone can offer, but us plebs aren't the sort of people Bernie and the gang are interested in.

melbourne has signed the contract for another 5 years of f1. but will need too start the race after 5pm . for euro tv rights no night time start sorry bernie . bring it too sydney you faggoot

I was just going to mention that Austalia's sporting capital has secured the rights to stage the Grand Prix until 2015 and have, as a minor nation, moved the start time so that the civilised part of the world can watch it without getting up in the middle of the night. Still a very early morning start, but it's better than what we currently have.

Oooh, nice cast - it's all in the wrist action apparently.

mark webber has signed a contract aswell . too keep driving in f1

The paddock area was completly rebuilt last year but i agree there needs to be better viewing areas for the spectators. But i do think that donnington provides one of the best veiws in motorsport from starkeys cafe, there's nothing better than seeing cars and bikes heading through the crainer curves into the old hairpin through starkeys into mecleans

Very sad to see Silverstone go, but not surprised considering how much Bernie and his lapdog Mosley have had it in for that place for the last several years. However, Donnington Park is a decent choice, albiet at 2.5 miles, on the short side. Its good that there will still be a British Grand Prix next year as its intolerable to imagine a Formula 1 season without it. It would be like 1980 when the Italian race was at Imola rather than Monza. Although that said, the organisers should think about alternating venues,(Donnington holding it one year, Silverstone the next) like when Silverstone used to do with Aintree in the 1950's and with Brands Hatch until the 1980's, as next year, Germany and Japan will start alternating, with Hockenheim holding it one year, then back to the Nurburgring and Suzuka staging the race before going back to Mount Fuj respectively.i

you poms are 1 of the biggest f1 racing headquaters. where are your world class race tracks . ???????????

Coming from a small child who'se own country runs their only grand prix in a park.

They have to stop it every few laps to let the ducks cross the track.
