How do we actually go about booking this as it doesn't appear on their pages?

Gerry I have booked direct with Donnington Park.
Tel. 01332 819503 and speak to Caroline Blythe

OK, Just spoke with Caroline and I now know what the big attraction is/was. Originally two sessions were for LADY drivers. Unfortunately that's no longer the case so it's the usual bunch of scruffy individuals taking part

So there's now Novice, Intermediate and Advanced sessions and I've booked advanced

Hope you all have too as I guessed you probably would.

Having never driven it before maybe I should have booked inter and been able to have some pax laps?

Not teaching you to suck eggs but advanced at Donny in your first outing may be a bit 'advanced', particularly if it's wet.

I'm going to book intermediate as the Sierra was well paced around there in that group keeping up nicely with Westfields and swiftly driven XR4x4's

I'm sure Caroline will amend it if necessary Gerry or just stay in that group and we can get loads of PAX laps in.

You're right as always Stu, I've always gone for intermediate but thought I do the sheep thing and bunch with you guys :roll:

Caroline said I can change it, so I will. I also have a friend coming along for a few rides.

Pablo, I'm relying on you and Bart to show me round the place, nothing like a little local knowledge

I've found that the best way to find your way around Donnington is not to use Tom Tom but to use Tol Tol (Alan Tolley) :-D
