After the day I did at Dono in May when it was wet, I vowed never again. My car was fine and handled well on a wet track but I can't say the same for others who were in single seaters and other lightweight obscure cars.... they were spinning off left right and centre and it was like dodgem cars trying to avoid them. No fun at all.... so bollox to Dono in the rain

the last track day i did was oulton park in the pouring rain,the car was very tailhappy coming out of every corner.

it was fun but you have to watch everyone else out on track too.

never been round donnington,but im sure it will be ok-just dont want to stack 10k plus worth of car.

might come in the evo 4,or the impreza catalunya............
