only ever been to donnington twice... one was fpr the spares day last year and the other was when my mum was pregnant with me, so that doesnt count...

At silverstone, u always see lots of action on the brooklands corner... what is the best corner for action at donnington...?

sit on the grass on the infield. So you look at the cars hurtling down craner, jumping on the brakes and then powering up the hill. Great view!

Or Grandstand for watching sideways action (especially if wet )

Craner................

....... and I was on track this year, you could ammend Porkie's description to:

look at the cars hurtling down craner, jumping on the brakes, PON spinning, and then powering up the hill.

RichardPON

I know Justin, but it wasn't going to happen, and it means Martin gets to whoop your ass in the Metro, so that's some satisfaction

I personally think Craner isn't all that good to watch from the infield, if you are standing at the top of the grass hill looking down on the cars, you and bloody miles away, and it looks almost straight! Even the right hander at the bottom looks a doddle from up there. A good place for photos (I think) is watching from the inside as the cars come onto the pit straight! That or on the outside of the first bend, getting the turn in!

justin.e

phil,
i agree with that one!craner does look nothing from the infield....its a bit different from inside the car!
