    Would anyone care to join me in appealing to MSV and NL to offer more dates at Donny on the national layout?

    The two hairpins (which I think were only bolted on to meet a technical requirement for GP circuit length within the confines of the site) are so unrewarding and spoil the flow of the original layout.

    Not to mention adding a load more wear and tear with two extra zones of hard acceleration and two extra zones of hard braking for my already thrashed, poor old 2009 daytona!

    Or am I alone in rating the national layout as more fun than the GP layout??

    I've only ridden the GP layout, but Donington is my favourite track. I definitely hate the melbiurne loop and would probably prefer the national layout. Though Goddards is not a bad corner for me, easy knee down all such.

    Oh well, not the groundswell of support I was hoping for!! :(

    For anyone who hasn't ridden it, I recommend the national layout. One of the best circuits, up there with Brands GP and Cadwell (all IMHO).

    Reply from MSV:

    Hi Dan
    We also agree with you and prefer the National. Sadly previous opportunities for booking the National haven’t been busy enough which is why there are not so many of them, but we will keep trying!
    Thanks
