Donington Track Day

Jordan · Sep 6, 2007

Hi all,

I'm considering taking the Trophy on a track day at Donington and was wondering if anyone has already done so? Is it worth it? as Donington is quite a laurge circuit it might be better suited to something more powerful.............

Cheers

it's a good circuit for the trophy, you'll be surprised at how capable it is. Just make sure you turn off the traction control - it'll lap a good second or two quicker without it.

The instructor advised me to keep it on, i had an excellent day there on Friday last week.
Was worried about brakes etc but they just got better as day went on.
In standard form 5/6 laps is fine any more & the tyres & brakes start to go off, but cool down wait & go again, no damage.

Look up trackaction-online.co.uk good group of guys.

Donington or silverstone in Oct.

i did donny in april and absolutely love the track!

suits the trophy well too as its fairly twisty.
