Onliest Smeg David Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Next year I'm taking my Dad to see British Super Bikes. He's not been to a bike race for 60ish years! Options logistically will be Donington or Outon Park. I know Oulton. But... What is it like for spectating at Donnington for a not so nimble on his feet older person? Also what are the hospitality suites / grandstands like (including view of track)? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonk179 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 IMHO Oulton is a better spectator circuit. Good viewing at Druids or up clay hill. If you want good racing,spectating and a friendly pit go to the Gold Cup meeting at Olivers Mount in Scarborough in September, a lot of the TT boys are there and always willing to stop for a chat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onliest Smeg David Posted December 5, 2014 Author Share Posted December 5, 2014 Yep - viewing is good at Oulton, been there several times to watch BTCC Unless anyone has any contraviews of Donnington then it'll be Outlon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onliest Smeg David Posted December 5, 2014 Author Share Posted December 5, 2014 There must be others with a 'view' ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 It's not bad, best place I reckon would be where you can see down Craners and through Old Hairpin, second would be Redgate (first corner) as there are a few moves there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLiNK Motorsport Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I personally prefer spectating at Donington. Outside of the track past redgate and half way down Craners p you can see most of the circuit from there. Oulton is a much prettier circuit that is better presented though, HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Oulton is a much prettier circuit that is better presented though, Pretty it may be.. but boy do they love their fences! Some of it is like a maze. It would be so much better if you could simply walk around the circuit veiwing as you go without coming up against stalag luft 13 type fencing. I once got myself on the inside of druids and needed a sat nav to find my way out! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
