The Origins of Donington Park

 

Donington Park holds a special place in British motorsport history as the country’s first purpose-built road circuit. Opened in the 1930s, the 1.957-mile track quickly gained attention, hosting its first Grand Prix in 1935. Iconic drivers like Giuseppe Farina and Raymond Sommer raced alongside British talent like Prince Bira of Siam, marking the track as an early favourite for fans and competitors alike. Its picturesque location and challenging layout have always made Donington a cherished venue for racing enthusiasts.

Truck racing has grown to become a significant part of Donington Park’s modern-day appeal. The British Truck Racing Championship (BTRC) regularly takes to the circuit, turning the historic track into a battleground for some of the most exciting motorsport events of the year. With its long straights and tight corners, Donington provides a thrilling setting for massive 1,300-horsepower trucks as they push the limits of speed and agility.
