Or not in the case of Donnington

Apparently the drafty old pit lane and press complex is no more

Lets hope they rebuild it Silverstone style with marble floors lol

Its only the McLaren garage that has marble floors :D . Silverstone should sort out their drainage problems too :x ...some of the garages fill up with water when it rains :roll: . IIRC there was a proposal to build a new pits complex on Hangar Straight but so far it hasn't happened .... maybe they're waiting for Bernies cash :twisted:

SSSShhhhh. Don't tell them that :D

In fact, if you're reading this Donnington, I've heard that Silverstone has an equal mix of Marble and deep pile Axminster in their pit garages. Along with hot/cold water (with shower), Tea and Coffee facilities, 4 post ramp, oil change facilities and a complete SnapOn toolkit

But Agreed, Silverstone do have drainage issues. Particularly the garages up the end where we were last time :scubagear:

donnington pit garages and complex has completly gone, we were there on track on sunday.
4.5 million being spent on the refurb, lets hope they can stretch to some fecking tarmac on the roads inside rather than gravel and dust. car was filthy when we left on sunday.

track was as good as usual tho ;-)
