After being unable to get a booking last year we are delighted to be visiting Donington again in 2026.
We have visited this famous and entertaining Derbyshire circuit for Club trackday’s for a number of years and it has proven to be a popular final event for the year which typically sells out. As in previous years, the Club has booked the circuit on the basis that we can share track-time between ourselves and ‘MGs-on-Track’, a branch of the MG Car Club. We have reserved exclusive use of the circuit for 20 minutes per hour for C&L7C members, with MGoT participants using the remaining 40 minutes. In 2026 we are limiting the numbers to just 32 cars. This is an excellent value, sessions-based Club Trackday at Donington Park.
We will be running Club-exclusive sessions through the day (20 minute session per hour) to provide roughly two and a half hours of track time in total. Given the challenge and nature of this circuit, this this event is not suitable for novice or inexperienced circuit drivers and so consequently you must be at an experienced, intermediate or advanced level to participate.
We will be providing free instruction which is available to all drivers (bookable in advance once the final instructions are issued or on the day).
The event is subject to a 98dB drive by noise limit.
The cost for a car and main driver – including the benefits listed above – is £225; an additional driver (who must be a Club member) costs £40 and any passengers are charged at £5 each.
Cars will not be permitted onto the circuit unless fitted with an MSA-acceptable rollbar or roll cage. In practice, this normally means the use of the ‘trackday’ or ‘FIA’ rollbars as supplied by Caterham Cars. Please see our Trackday Safety Requirements and Recommendations document which includes Club guidance on rollbars and safety requirements.
