Sad news & more importantly who'll come riding to the rescue? Jonathan Palmers MSV?

It is sad news however Donington exposed themselves to this by trying to steal the Grand Prix away from Silverstone. Now staff are in jeopardy and no doubt the builders/contractors as well.

Tom Wheatcroft passing away won't have helped either.

Too much business is done these days by people who have big ideas but no dosh, all borrowed funds then when it goes wrong nowhere to turn.

Thats my favourite english circuit. :( Is the museum part of the circuit or a separate enterprise?
But if if goes bust the administrators should by rights sell it to the highest bidder to pay there own bill. Not much call for building land at the moment so it might end up as a race circuit again. We live in hope.

Your right JJ, Best circuit i've driven in the UK and good for spectators.
Hope it remains open for a few more seasons.
