Is This Event Right For You?
Best fit if you enjoy multi-class competitions — Penultimate championship round features GT3 supercars (Mercedes, Lamborghini, McLaren, Aston Martin) racing alongside GT4 machines, single 2-hour endurance race with mandatory pitstops determines season finale grid.
Best fit if you value historic venues — Oldest UK motorsport circuit since 1931, 4.02km layout features downhill Hollywood, sweeping Craner Curves, technical Old Hairpin sequence across challenging elevation changes through Leicestershire countryside.
Best fit if you like family-friendly motorsport — Children under 13 attend free, free general parking, Castle Donington accommodation base 2km away, East Midlands Airport five minutes from circuit entrance, accessible via Skylink bus services.
Not ideal if you prefer festival-style race weekends — Single 2-hour British GT race without support series creates focused but limited on-track action, no paddock access mentioned, spectator experience centers around one championship race rather than multi-series atmosphere.
