Man, I wish I was there. Awesome pics, MJB. Especially the old timers. |

I didn't manage to get myself to the Donington Historic Festival last year, is it worth going? Based on the photos I'd say yes but can you tell me a bit more about your experience? Quite the drive for me (so that's always a plus!) Thanks for any feedback! |

Yes, I'd say that it's worth a visit, especially as the circuit offers some interesting viewing in comparison with flat ex-airfield tracks. Nothing like as big as the Silverstone Classic in any respect and for me that is a plus, with fewer people, queues and irrelevant stalls! I've always been surprised that it hasn't grown, but as so many great events become a victim of their own success that is probably a good thing. A bit of exploring beyond the paddock will reveal the remnants of the original pre-war circuit too, where the mighty Auto Union grand prix cars (originally a Dr Porsche design) once raced. |

We have a stand there again this year, the details on how to book the club discounted tickets will be in the next issue of All Torque. Thanks for sharing the photos. |

Thanks for the feedback! Might get myself over there this year, I actually like the 'irrelevant stalls' that you are talking about. Kinda interesting to see what's happening at Donington, especially after the museum shut down! |
