At least the lease now returns to the wheatcroft family - perhaps they can rebuild the circuit at least to allow national and club events next season.

What I am hoping is that no one wanted to deal with Gillet or give him a single penny. So hopefully now they have gone tits up people will be willing to take on the track and deal with the wheatcroft family again.
Bernie really should be the one to fix up the track the evil dwarf. If he was such a good freind of Tom's its the least he can do.
Simon Gillet is an utter 2@
I hope nobody ever does business with that man ever again
Some good news, hopefully:

Donington Park's owning family has said it is committed to reopening the racetrack as soon as possible following the collapse of its Formula 1 bid and the lease-holding company.
"We have been assessing what is required to put things back as they were. We reckon this will cost in the region of about £600,000, but to get it up to grand prix standard you could add a couple of zeroes.
"We want to get the place operational again. Hopefully we can get up and running again as soon as possible."
Great news. Does anyone know what sort of changes have already been made? Presumably they aren't going to actually put things back 'as they were' but make good as best they can the works that have already been done.Quote:

Glad to hear they are going to return the track to operational status asap - assuming finance xan be secured.
Green shoots for Donny

Not really F1-related anymore, but still... http://www.savedonington.co.uk/
An amazing effort to get Donny back to a fit state.Quote:
