Donnington Historic 4th and 5th May 2024

[sorepaws]

Once again this event will bring together some of the most iconic cars from the past to race the famous Donington Circuit and for car clubs to show off and for some, enjoy the opportunity for a parade lap.

If you are interested in attending I will apply on behalf of the NSXCB - there is usually a 50% discount for entry vs the normal public entry. No Pli is required so this is open to all NSX Owners. Entries for clubs will open in January.

Post below if you want to attend.

Hi all, I have applied to the organisers and await a code for the event. I dont expect them to give us a "free" pass this year but the normal deal for club cars is a 50% discount over the normal entry price. For those that enjoy a bit of racing there is a full agenda of qualifying and racing. I have approached the Owners club to share the code, but as Olly mentioned many of them are off to Imola, and the reply indicates a lack of interest. This is of course a local tribute to Senna and therefore slightly less expensive than a trip to Imola :-D

Please DM for the Code and Ticket link to attend

Hey Mike,

Do we know if there might be an ex Senna vehicle at Donnington? Would be great to have that leading some NSX parade laps ... is it possibel to find out from thise that you know?

Thanks, Paul

Hi Paul,

Do you mean "Ex Senna" NSX? if so I doubt it - I suspect Rob will be taking his to Imola - Unfortunately the owners club arn't participating this year.

Best regards
Mike

I wasn’t thinking NSX, more cars from his F1 past and MP era … that would be so good to lead a few parade laps

Hi Paul,

Donnington held a Senna tribute at last years classic to mark 30 years of the F1 race and had his race car on display next to the few NSX's that attended so quite likely

CLASSIC CARS ON PARADE
Also at lunchtime, 100 classic and collectors’ cars from the nearly 60 car clubs displaying at the event will parade round the Donington Park circuit each day. On the Saturday these will be led by a group of Ferraris, followed by a contingent of Honda NSXs which are paying tribute to Formula One legend Ayrton Senna

Hi All,

Im just back from a few days away with family and have my car display pass (A5), and my tickets for Saturday ... is it just the 5 of us attending? Are there any plans to meet en route and arrive together as for previous events? If yes, we need to share rough routes and place to meet ...

If I select the boring m-way route, I'm on at J29, anti-clockwise to the bottom of M1 then cruising to Donnington, journey time just shy of 3 hours. I note the instruction that gates for display cars close at 10am, so guessing we need to be at site by 9.30 latest ...

What plans have others made, will you route(s) align or can someone suggest a meetign place near to circuit ...

Many thanks , Paul

Hi Paul

I can meet you somewhere en route. I will be joining M25 at J28 so we could meet at the petrol station just off the junction on the road that leads to Brentwood unless you can think of a better spot?

There will be 5 cars. I know Martin will be heading from Stratford (roughly) (A42?) The rest of us will be on the M1 - Possible to meet at Jn15A at 8am - That would give an hour to get to Donnington who is up for this? ( I am now officially stressed ! I do not like trying to organise other people!)

Ps L696ULO - You have a message
