About Donington Park experiences

The Donington Park motorsport circuit was originally opened before World War II but became a military storage facility during the war. It was unused and fell into disrepair until the 1970s when it was bought by Tom Wheatcroft, a local construction entrepreneur. He purchased the track in 1971 and rebuilt it for the re-opening in 1973.

The height of the tracks revival came in 1993 when it hosted F1's European Grand Prix, won by the late Ayrton Senna. The track attempted to bring a 2010 F1 event back to the track but was declined after a legal battle when Bernie Ecclestone stated that the track did not meet the governing body's requirements. The Adroit Group has entered into a leasing agreement with the Wheatcroft family and has committed to £2m in upgrades in an effort to meet the F1's requirements to host a future event.

The track has two basic configurations. The GP Circuit has a total race distance of 2.5 miles (4.023 km) while the National Circuit measures 1.957 miles (3.149 km). The National Circuit eliminates two straights referred to as Shields Straights and the connecting Melbourne Hairpin. With 10 turns the National Circuit still offers a very challenging and technical course for those wishing to purchase a driving experience at Donington, which is a world-class racetrack.

Due to the popularity of Donington racing track, scheduling of driving experience packages may be a bit harder to come by, especially when the busy racing season commences. Donington Park still hosts events presented by the British Touring Car Championship, British Superbikes and the Superleague Formula.

The variety of vehicles for your exciting visit to the track is quite varied. You can choose from a single seater, Ferrari 360, Caterham, Audi R8, Aston Martin, Ariel Atom and the Porsche 911 Turbo. Before being able to run the course on your own, you will have to go through an instruction period with a qualified instructor from Donington Park. They'll give you an overview of the course and guide you through the correct racing lines.
