Donington Park, Motorsport racing track in Castle Donington, England.
The circuit features two configurations: a 2.487-mile Grand Prix layout and a 1.979-mile National Circuit with multiple elevation changes and technical corners.
The track opened in 1931 for motorcycle racing on unsealed estate roads, later becoming a significant venue after Tom Wheatcroft purchased it in 1971.
The Donington Grand Prix Exhibition displayed an extensive collection of Formula One cars from 1973 until 2018, documenting motorsport racing evolution.
Located near East Midlands Airport and the M1 motorway, the circuit provides multiple grandstands and hospitality facilities for up to 120,000 spectators.
In 1993, Ayrton Senna demonstrated exceptional skill during the European Grand Prix, advancing from fifth to first position on the opening lap.
