Donington Park is still the spiritual home of MotoGP in the UK, and the video below shows the sad state that the track is currently in since Donington Ventures Leisure Ltd lost the rights to Formula 1 and MotoGP and fell into bankruptcy.

The track has since been returned to the Wheatcroft family and is currently not in an operational state and is not in contention for any race meets. The motto on their website that states “Preserving the past, protecting the future” seems a long way off the mark when you see the video below that was recorded by MCN on a recent lap of the Donington track.

Donington Park Video Description:
This exclusive video shot by MCN shows the true scale of the work to repair the ill-fated building work facing the circuit owners before they can bring back any kind of racing to the track. MCN was able to complete a lap in a car with a video camera to show just how much destruction has been wreaked before the building work attempting to turn the track into a Formula One track ceased. For the full story behind the next step in the renewel of Donington check out the March 10 issue of MCN.
