Anyone know if infield parking still avail at Donington Park

Hi, Subject says it all. I'd like to go to the Auto-Union meeting at Donington tomorrow and need to know if i will be able to park on the infield. We used to 4-5 years ago (last time I went) but I'm not sure if they still allow it. I rang them but office is closed TIA Maxx

There's a *lot* more gravel replacing grass on the infield - most of the parking is now hard standing, which is nice as it usually rains. The section alongside the start-finish is much wider and flatter than it was, and the grandstand opposite the pits is more stable, though the pit wall is too high - bloody F1 :-( Toilets and refreshments still not up to standard, though. -- David.

You could get a good view of the start and redgate, plus you could see most of Starkeys and up theough MacLeans over the back. Also, the chicance was always fun (club circuit) ad you've not got far to go to the Paddock Maxx
