MCN Sport: A lap of the new Donington Park Circuit

[MattMK45]

im glad it's back to normal more or less now. I wish more money was injected into it though so they could build new stands and revamp it just a bit.

[CougarChile]

What are those mirrors doing there?

The perspective is so wrong.

And man, sorry but you sucks at driving.

[kabuyete]

This is not flying. What a bad driver !!!

[themarcpearson]

ive been on the sim today and loved it, managed a 1:34

[prelrude]

Hi guys. My brother and I have just been in this simulator at the Triumph stag 30th anniversary at Uttoxeter race course. It is a force feedback simulator set up inside a proper F2 racing car! we only paid 5 quid for a go, at the end of the day, my bro set the 2nd fastest time of the day!. He's a nutter for racing games. This sim with that force feedback is violent! I discovered during my 4 laps....Epic barrier fail!!

[OXiSixteen]

His driving ruined the circuit.

If you are gonna let someone play with your expensive toy and show off it's goods, atleast have someone capable doing it.

[LawfordLad]

Like you???????????lol

Silly little boy!

[OXiSixteen]

Where did I offer to drive?

Unless you can point that out, stop talking shit of out your mouth.

Who says I'm little.

Stop assuming. In 2 sentences, you just made a massive fool of yourself.

Now go slit your wrist.

[LawfordLad]

Oh my mistake. I judged by your first comment that you are about ten. So if you are older that makes you seem even more of a ignorant twat than i thought.

[OXiSixteen]

An insult from someone who makes assumptions over the net is hardly insulting.

But yea, let's flame war.

Didn't know that wanting someone who knew how to drive on a circuit to PROPERLY present something as this is ignorant.

Then you are indeed an idiot.

I await your response. Don't start something you can't finish now.

[LawfordLad]

Carry on making yourself look a right cunt by all means mate! This video was just a quick demo of the new Donnington circuit but you being the typical YouTube type had to have a little bitch about something didnt you.

[OXiSixteen]

What, don't like someone commenting? You think this world is full of happy jolly people?

There will ALWAYS be people who see things

differently, if YOU CANT accept that. Then poor you.

Go back to your basement little boy.

I will keep going. Don't give up on me now.

[LawfordLad]

If you want the last word, fine! I will finish by saying you are a complete wanker. Over to you fucktard!

[OXiSixteen]

HAHAHAHA Resorting to profanity.

Being big over the internet. Way to go big boy!!!!!

No death threats? Please don't reply with more name calling. That's hardly original.

[henrymarkstewart10]

i wish i could connect my PS to three tv's and get the same effect :S

[mteale]

LMAO!!! Take it the last comment really touched a nerve!!!!!! Dont ya think its ironic that with the initials BJ, you turned out to be a c-o-c-k s-u-c-k-e-r!!!!!!

[subeefan]

lol it JB

[mteale]

Yeah, but ya discussion about Donington Park is bollocks! And Tesco car parks, kids on mopeds and typing in chav dialect is more fun when I've managed to find a muppet like you that Kermit the frog would be jealous of! Take it you couldnt work out the "If I held up 3 fingers and told you to read between the lines, I hope you'd understand!" Shame they took down Dunlop bridge! Ya could have done us all favour and thrown yaself off it!!!!

[mteale]

Mate you talk some crap! My readings fine by the way! If I held up 3 fingers and told you to read between the lines, I hope you'd understand! Also, it would be like me sayin then, that my local tesco car park makes a fantastic circuit for the local kids on mopeds. lol. "Wouldnt have suited F1"! Was great for the kids on mopeds though! Ya just wouldnt post a comment like that, unless you were a numpt or takin the piss out of someone else lol!

[mteale]

British Touring Cars is a national championship! Therefore uses the shorter national circuit! Think you may find the full "GP circuit" had to have the last section introduced in 1985 to make the minimum GP circuit length! F1 is 3.5km! Therefore F1 woulld have never have raced the shorter national circuit!!!! Hope this has enough facts for you! Oh, and on the subject of what your talking about....... I know where your talking from!!!

[mteale]

LOL bjenkins87!!!!!!! Think you might find Goddards is the last corner on the full circuit! Obviously you know Donington and every other track in Britain, lol. Cant beat a last lap drag from Foggy's esses lol. Shame somebody put Melbourne Loop and Goddards in the way! Lmao!

[curexcult]

wow that is just rfactor with a mod. you can easily tell when he crosses the finish line and you can hear them announce the lap time. 48,000 pounds must have come from the actual hardware not the software.

[eldisturbio]

£48k simulator? That looks and sounds like a mod for rFactor on the PC (The voice announcing lap time is the same). I purchased it for £20, but I haven't got a triple screen setup.

[hct1802]

it probably is to be honest, no hands too which makes it look alot like rFactor.

[tubbymarshall]

i've done about 20 trackdays at donington over the past few years and although its a superb track, it just isn't big enough for a modern superbike to fully stretch its legs anywhere on the main straight. on standard gearing i cant even get my r1 into top gear. its high time the track was overhauled, but i'm more concerned with the road plans. what are they gonna do about access to/from the track on racedays? its chaos at wsb and moto gp time. i live 3miles from this track so i hope for the best.

[dxr1jockey]

talk about fucking one of the greatest racetracks in the world up, and what for i ask, for grown up fucking go carts to follow each other around, they really have no idea.

[zudthespud]

they are getting rid of one hairpin, what is the big deal?

[DoctorNumber46]

dont worry the f1 people are too bitch to keep the good parts of the track

[wanderers1960]

£48000 for a computer game,

and i thought £4.50 was dear for a cheese burger!

p.s. where's the new toilets?

[GVKmotorsport]

This really isn't about games/sim racing.

[BeckyRoseI]

The track changes are ok, but spectating club racing from my favorite spot is gone unless I sit on the roof of the pits :(

And that similar is not 48k lolz, it does not even a proper hydraulic one. If that was 48k somebody has been over charged.

Donnington is in Blighty, it's got 1 entrance access/road (whereas the council at Silverstone built new roads for better access at the GP).

Does anyone know if they're building a new MotoX track, the old one is now a paddock area.

[n1Erik]

Where's Donington?

[rhysbarratt]

Looks like they've managed to make the track boring...

[simracingtonight]

The actual simulation only costs about $20 us.. It's rFactor for the PC. THe hardware is the expensive part in this rig.. You can sim race if you have a gaming computer for the price of the software and a decent wheel

[freestylejosh]

The old track looks much more fun and has a lot more character.

[topski100]

first impressions - underwhelmed

[apricotsnms516]

UK£ 48,000 = 70,776 U.S. dollars wow thats alot for a sim @_@

[dPh4zz]

For the love of racing this Tilkefication has to stop.... Every damn track is ruined by Formula Pitstop and now MotoGP has to race boring Silverstone...

[ZMC888]

They're ruining one of my favorite UK race tracks, and turning it into a retarded f1 circuit :(

Things built for F1 suck, because you need cars or motorcycles that are stupidly powerful to suit it. Shanghai is an example of this Tilke crap.

The old Donnington was fun even on a 400cc bike, the new one it will be boring as hell even for a motogp bike, LAME

[schumiisking]

this is not 48k you retards.

the game is rfactor - 30 quid. 3 screens, high spec pc, 2k MAX required. (could do it easily for 1k). stupid cockpit shell thing, not needed, but, i duno, 600 quid? G25 racing wheel, 150.

who the fuck came up with 48k, pounds, dollars, euros, or otherwise.

retards.

[sl0wm0]

maybe its a typo you dipshit. why dont you get back to playing your Need For Speed Undercover you childish nerd.

[schumiisking]

WELL ITS CLEARYL not a typo is it considering the amount of times people have said the phrase '48k' you mong.

'go back to playing nfsu'...............ooookkaaaa­y.......despite the fact that i know the game and explained the costs involved, suggesting i actually do simrace. you complete retard.

[sl0wm0]

oh wow really you don't shit about games you annoying dick licker.

[schumiisking]

well that didnt really make sense so. i'd rather be a dick licker than a retard.

[sl0wm0]

lmao well that was a typo I meant to say "you don't know shit about games" and i'd rather be just a retard than both.

[bmastamoneycash]

this isn't a motorcycle...has this changed to racecarnewsdotcom?

[confusedsay]

horsepower track, money, engine dept. wins.

[2wheels2fast]

when is this track going to be finished?

[misterwipedown]

Seriously a $48k simulator? My GRT2 for the PC with TSW wheel for a $1k looks better.

[Atoweha]

48K euros.....about $80K dollars

[nitrogeb]

noo it's not that much... and it's not euro,it english money( i don't remember the name)

[roach308]

its not euros its pounds. £40k which is more than 40k dollars its about $60k

[banana2jam]

If it is custom software then it could easily cost that much. They may not have wanted to use someone else's due to licensing issues.

[xnixiel]

this is rfactor! £48k my arse!

[JPThomp7]

The new section looks boring, give me the foggy esses any day

[BenjiMC1]

drivers a bit naff ay? :p

[akamikeg]

wikid. hooray for procrastinating students

[dyansisrules]

cool

[joestevo99]

the new track looks great

however it is upsetting to see the old track go apart from foggy esses glad thats gone

annoying to see motogp is not being held there anymore instead it goes to crappy silverstone
