LOCATION

Donington Park is based on the border of Leicestershire and Derbyshire not far from Nottingham, Derby and Leicester, at the centre of the UK.
It is a parkland circuit set in a natural amphitheatre which allows superb viewing of its fast sweeping corners.
Donington Park is easily reached by the M1, M42 and A50. East Midlands Airport is also near by and rail/bus links from the nearby cities are good.

ABOUT DONINTON PARK

Opened in 1931, Donington Park is one of Britain's most popular racing circuits. It is the home of the British Motorcycle Grand Prix (MotoGP) and also plays host to rounds of the British Touring Car Championship, British Formula 3 Championship, British GT Championship, Le Mans Series, and British Superbike Championship.
The circuit uses tracks and paths in the parkland at the front of Donington Hall. Initially, it was used only for motorcycle racing. It wasn't long, however, before Fred Craner, a local garage owner and secretary of the Derby and District Motor Club, had persuaded the Sheilds family, who owned Donington Hall, to also allow car racing. To make this possible, the circuit was resurfaced and extended by 1933.
