Default Oulton Park or Donno?

Which track do you prefer??
Have to say after spending the day at Oulton today i thought it was much better than Donno.

The facilities were great.... not a bad full English in the cafe
The track itself is much more interesting imo
The setting is great.
You can drive most of the way round infield, park up and view
the action from above track level.
Infield parking is the norm and there is that much space inside it could
be a great venue for ND.

What do you lot think?

There about 10 miles away from dono LOL...

Dono organisation is better for signing on.

Track is faster
you can get anywhere in dono to view.
Pits are better at dono.

Outlon is a nice circuit really techincal in places but personally i preferre donington.

Noise limit is much better at outlon.

Price is cheaper at dono...

So both have good and bad point but most raised are the same LOL

ive only done donnington once and really enjoyed it.oulton is my local circuit and ive done about 12 days there now,so obviously im biased towards oulton.

but cant wait for donno in december.

yesterday had a great feel to it all round-everyone was friendly and having a good time.
