Donington Park Circuit - Informations

One of the most renowned and historically important circuits in the world, Donington Park continues to host many major national and international events and has benefited from a multi-million-pound improvement programme over the past two seasons under its new operator MSV. The changes have included extensive resurfacing of the paddock areas and internal roads, a number of new toilet blocks, a new circuit office, a new grandstand overlooking Hollywood corner and a new bar and restaurant at the heart of the paddock – Garage 39. Further changes followed in 2019, with a new main pedestrian entrance, improved marshal posts, campsite upgrades and a new Pit Lane suite.
The circuit's premier event is the annual visit of the FIM Superbike World Championship, while fan favourites include the Bennetts British Superbike Championship and the Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship. Other major events include British GT and F3, British Truck Racing, the Donington Historic Festival and the Classic Motorcycle Festival, with dozens of car and motorcycle club meetings throughout the season. BSB and British GT will visit twice in 2020.
As well as being a famous motorsport venue, Donington is also celebrated as the home of the Download rock festival, which attracts tens of thousands of music fans every year. The venue also hosts a wide variety of exhibitions, shows and other music concerts throughout the year.

Donington Park is superbly located, with the major cities of Derby, Nottingham and Leicester nearby and Birmingham less than an hour away. The circuit is easily reached from the nearby M1, A50 and A42, while international visitors can fly into the nearby East Midlands Airport, whose main terminal is just two miles from Donington.
