Went to Donnington Park to watch the Touring Cars Sunday. Unfortunately Lynn wasn't 100% so went up in her car so she wouldn't be "bumped about" but it was no big deal as the route was all motorway anyway.....
Got there in time to see the start of the first Touring Car race. Got a good view of the back of the track and saw some excitement.... although of course there was a lot action going on the track we couldn't see. After the BTCC race we walked around the track and watched the Seat Cupra race as we went around. The best view is from the far side of the track, where you can see the Craner Curves and the top of the hill, so watched some racing from there.
They also had some vehicles going round during the lunch break, so saw a new single seater and a white van going round at speed. (the white van having a Jaguar running gear and engine!)
When racing resumed, the rain which had been in the air all day, decided to become more persistent... so we ended up leaving early... but was certainly a worthwhile trip and really enjoyed the bits I saw. Next time we would take our camping chairs (which we had forgot, and assuming we are going in Lynns car of course) as the ground is a bit hard to sit on for any length of time!
