I will certainly be there, cos i have already ordered my ticket! 

Free camping too - tho not sure how close to the track it is.  The lady at ticket office said its free cos there is nothing there!  I hope Paddy's camper has a big toilet tank...  :-\

You are all in for an abstemious weekend.

Just looking at the Donington web site and one of the general rules is 'No Alcohol'.

Rules are there to be broken I suppose.

Rules say "No alcohol, no animals".

The fine print on the Moto GP tickets last year said 'No Milk Churns'.  WTF?
Live imperfectly and with great delight.

Not forgetting the very fine bar at redgate corner, the hide away of the rich and famous.

From what I have heard that must have been per person!!  ;)

Hoping to make the LMS at Donnington having missed both the rounds at Silverstone. It all depends on when Mrs Chenet books the family holiday! Normally manage to avoid the Bank Holiday weekend though so hopefully we'll be OK!

I'm supposed to be at Donington for LMES AND at Brands Hatch for F3/GT on the same weekend - bit of a cock up really....still not entirely sure how to resolve that one!!   ::) ;D

I have tried to convince "those in charge" that the new Dony pit lane is entirely unsuitable for LMS cars so they should move the race to Brands thus solving my problem!  ;D

Ooh yes, plenty of time to get inventive. How about printing CocaCola stickers for on cans of beer ;D

As the Dutch say, I'm not to catch for one hole, so we'll all get as pissed as a newspaper

Can't wait for this, I think we have a fair crowd going for once.
I've come to believe that Le Mans is the centre of the universe.

Unfortunately the camping is outside the circuit, and it is only grass, not bogs or anything civilised.  And you'll get woken at 5am by the dawn chorus of Boeing 737s taking off!!

But we'll be there!!

I'll be there for the first time! I've been on Silverstone quite a few times (MG racing weekends when I was a kid) but that's the only track I've been to in England.
