Donington Park’s plans to get the track ready for 2010 have been unveiled, with pictures being published in this week’s Autosport magazine.
The Leicestershire track are going to spend a lot of money completly reconstructing the pit area, bringing it up to International specifications with new garages, a new media centre and race control building.
David Fern, Donington’s spokeman said “There will be a totally new complex will be built with all of the pits fitted out to the latest specifications.”
Also the track is to be lengthened to 4.8km. The bosses joked at Silverstone on Sunday about removing Craner Curves, before reassuring fans that the historic turns WOULD be staying, instead plans would be focussed further around the track.
These plans involve a brand new sweeping curve, something spectacular Fern said. A lap should take 77 seconds, with cars being able to reach speeds of 200mph.
Donington have only held 1 F1 race, the European Grand Prix in 1993, a rain sodden event which was won by Ayrton Senna in the Marlboro Mclaren.
