Donington reopens for business
Source: Insidebikes | Carole Nash » Bike News - Wednesday, 28th July 2010, 9:16 GMTDonington Park is open for business once again, with the circuit opening its doors to motorcycle track day events less than a year after a stalled redevelopment plan left the circuit in a state of disrepair. Focused Events are offering bikers the opportunity to be amongst the first people to ride at Donington Park circuit after its failed attempt to attract F1 racing, with a double track day event on August 21st/22nd. For £159 on either Saturday or Sunday, riders will get top BSB instruction from Niall Mackenzie and Chris Walker as they look to master the national circuit. Bikes from the Focused Events hire fleet will also be available for hire. The track weekend will also host a round of the TTXGP ‘zero emissions’ series (practice on Saturday lunch break, race Sunday lunch break), the first major event since the circuit was decommissioned after the former promoter, Donington Ventures Leisure Limited, went into administration after failing to secure funding for the £135m package needed to make Donington suitable for hosting F1. For more information on this and any other Focused Events activities please call 0845 0267272 or info@focusedevents.com and for full event and circuit details see www.focusedevents.com Read article
