About Donington Park
Donington Park National Circuit is one of the most famous circuits in the UK and it's a favourite of many professional racing drivers. The original Donington track was opened in 1931, and initially used for motorcycle races before hosting the Donington Grand Prix and British Grand Prix.
After the rebuilding of the track in 1977, Donington has held meetings of the British Touring Car Championship and British Superbikes and as well as the 1993 F1 European Grand Prix. This race was won by the late Ayrton Senna, and was described by AtlasF1 as the 'Drive of the Decade'. Other events taking place at the track include the World Series by Renault and the Great and British Motorsport Festival.

Customer Reviews of Donington Park
Simon Jackson, Coalville, Leics
Ultimate Supercar Experience - Brilliant day all round. Loved driving each and every car. Worth every penny, would recommend to anyone! A full day of driving the best cars around with karting and 4x4 thrown in - Excellent, what more can I say!
Tom Benson, Burnley
Ferrari and Single Seater Experience - A really exciting and thrilling experience. Everything was organised really well and I loved driving both cars. The single seater was my favourite, much more powerful in my opinion. I'll definitely be doing this again in the future.
Susan Geddis, Newcastle
Introductory Junior Rally Driving - I brought this gift for my son for his birthday and we were both very happy with it. Firstly, I was very impressed that there's a chance for young people to have a driving experience in a safe and controlled environment and then the actual day itself was great. The instructor was very professional and he made sure my son was informed with everything he needed to know. Then seeing the smile on my sons face when he took to the track made it worth every penny. I will be recommending this to friends and family.
