UK Round

Back to where it all began for WorldSBK, the famous Donington Park circuit has hosted countless classics in its time as a World Superbike venue. From 1988, the circuit has hosted 52 races and made memories each year for a variety of reasons. Set in the gorgeous Leicestershire countryside, the circuit twists and turns through the scenery, to the soundtrack of thousands of cheering fans, year-in, year-out.

The festival-like atmosphere makes for one of the best rounds of the season, with plenty of vantage points to view the magnificent Donington Park circuit from, with corners like Hollywood, Craner Curves and Coppice to name all but a few. Steeped in history and encapsulated in the atmosphere, the flowing nature of Donington Park makes for an unmissable round!

Balda’s thought

“Donington was one of those tracks where I had always dreamed of being able to compete. It’s a very charming, old-style track. It’s narrow and there’s really grass (not the synthetic one that is used for the new tracks). That’s why you have to be careful not to make mistakes! But it’s beautiful because it’s a mix of “up & down”, slow corners, fast corners, downhill corners, asphalt changes. Truly an iconic track”.
