Donington Park - Track Resurfacing and Redevelopment of Old Hairpin
Client: Clear Channel Entertainment
Value: £ 900,000
Duration: 14 weeks
Completion: February 2004
Project Brief
To completely resurface Donington Park's 4km circuit, including
new kerbing, a gravel trap run-off at the Old Hairpin, improved
pit-lane access and white lining.
Background to the Contract
After meeting the rigorous demands of a
spectrum of motorsport events (from the British
Motorcycle Grand Prix and the British Touring
Car Championship to the British Superbikes) the
track had become uneven and was unable to
meet the stringent requirements of Donington
Park and its consulting engineers.
In addition to the fact that the skid resistance
value of the old surface had fallen below minimum requirements, overall ride-ability needed to be improved, additional run-off at
the Old Hairpin was required, as well as better access
between the pit-lane and track for starting wheels. With challenging weather conditions, and a whole
season of prestigious motorsport events ahead, it was
critical that the contract was finished within the set time
scale.
