Donington GP gripes

25 June 2007 by Mark Hunt

For me the Donington GP has had its day. £60 on the gate to sit on muddy grass, drink the same over-priced coffee, queue for the bogs, listen to the same commentators plugging over-priced British Superbike merchandise, while watching races with very little homegrown talent (except for Dan and Bradley).

23 June 2007 by Anonymous
