Donington Park Driving Experiences

The famous Donington Park circuit is one of the most recognisable tracks in British motorsport. As the oldest circuit still in operation in the UK, Donington Park originally formed part of the Donington Hall estate, and was first used for racing in the early 1930s.

Requisitioned by the UK Government as a military storage facility during the Second World War, Donington didn’t see racing again until 1977. It has since played host to some of the most prestigious motorsports series, including the British Touring Car Championships, Formula 3 and the British Superbike Championship.

Take some of the most focused cars in the Trackdays.co.uk fleet out on a track which saw Formula 1 legend Ayrton Senna take victory in the 1993 European Grand Prix. Hire one of our lightweight track prepared cars for use on one of our track days. Feel the wind in your helmet with the insect-like Ariel Atom, or get that Formula feeling in the non-road legal Lotus 2-Eleven.

Alternatively, we offer you the opportunity to bring your own car or bike to the track, allowing you to make the most of your wheels in a safe and legal environment. Choose from a session on either the full Grand Prix circuit or the slightly shorter National layout. Whichever option you pick, Donington’s combination of technical sweeping bends, slow corners and short straights will keep you on your toes throughout the day.

Looking for the perfect gift for a motor racing fan? Help to contribute to their next track day by giving them an Own Car Track Day voucher to spend at either Donington or 20 other locations around the UK and Europe.

Steeped in history and motorsport success, Donington is an experience not to miss. Our open Gift Vouchers give you the opportunity to pick a date for your track day at Donington Park which suits you, or you can also book directly onto a forthcoming date of your choice from our regularly updated Donington Park Experience Calendar.
