I have been told not to mention Donington Park in this column, but I am going to anyway because once more there were frightening stories about people taking hours to get into the place, never mind out of it.

Silverstone is the place to be for the next five years and MotoGP people should not berate Silverstone for grabbing the opportunity to do as such. Donington's deal was up and Donington was either outbid or were not looked at in the same way as Silverstone by Dorna. Silverstone had a better package available, so far as Dorna were concerned, and that is why it got the deal.
