One of the best known British race tracks, I was very surprised when we
got F1 stats on this site and it turned out only one F1 race ever took
place there and it wasn't even the British Grand Prix.

For political reasons Donington was set to replace Silverstone as the
site of the British Grand Prix in 2010 but the deal later fell apart but
not before attempts to bring the track up to F1 standards left it in an
unusable state when things came undone. Thankfully it appears things are
getting back on track.

The track's grounds are also home to the Donington Grand Prix Museum
Exhibition, the largest collection of F1 cars in the world including a
large collection of McLarens, a complete collection of Vanwalls and the
Jordan 191 that Michael Schumacher made his F1 debut in.

This track is something of the home course for Formula E, although its
major city-focused, all but street circuit only schedule means an
official race would never be held there. Still most of the teams are
based at the track and the series uses it for preseason testing.

The Donington Grand Prix Museum Exhibition closed permanently in
November 2018. Several of the cars from the collection were sold off
before then to raise money for the track to work out of its early 2010s
financial issues.
