Not my video but quite interesting... a damn shame, having seen the video I feel there is much more than just £600k needing to be spent before racing can commence again.

The new lease holder was meant to be announced at the weekend but it didn't happen. That can only be bad new because last time I heard it was a done deal so something must have fell through.

Track looks mostly in tact to me.

I was under the impression it was mainly the actual track that was a state, but wow that is pretty bad

I believe its more of the spectator side of it?

Glad I managed to get to ride it last year! Doesn't look like much chance it'll be back in action this year.

I thought it was going to look a lot worse than that. Its a shame that they had such big plans for the place without the funding. Donington was one of the nicest circuits to watch at & now they have basically lost everything for the sake of F1.

Looks like the roads round here :D. Joking aside though, it's a travesty that any circuit in the UK, especially one as good as Donington is in that state :(

Doesn't help to have heart-rending piano music over the top. If you look at it another way, just fill in the holes and off you go! Hmmm...
