Just woken to heavy snow, forecast is snow all day and most of tomorrow. 20 mins from Donington.
Arse!
Test day today cancelled
Trackside temp today is -3 degrees and -2 degrees tomorrow... No ta!
Just got into work, M1 fine as are the A roads, the snow as got less on the journey to work, down side is I travelled away from Donington to get here
not towards, had to shovel snow off drive at home to get out!
The local forecast is for most of today and tomorrow, snow.
Apparently the Donington Airport snow clearing trucks have entered the Sports GT races and are tipped to win

DONINGTON PARK RACE MEETING POSTPONED
After discussions with the Clerk of the Course and Giles, with photgraphs of current conditions at Donington and with regard to the instructions in
the MSA Blue Book (Section E, page 92):
14.3.
Snow and Ice: The following areas must be free of all snow and ice before racing can commence:
14.3.1.
The race track, including verges, either up to the safety bank or for a width of 3m whichever is
the lesser.
14.3.2.
The paddock, the pits and communication roads.
14.4.
Where course verges are cleared, any snow must not be piled into banks.
14.4.1.
When a track is snow or icebound an inspection should be made 24 hours before the start of Official
practice to decide whether or not the meeting will be cancelled or postponed.
14.4.2.
If an adverse decision is taken, the MSA, the
MSA Steward and media must be notified.
We have reluctantly agreed that tomorrow's race meeting is postponed. In the fullness of time Giles will re-schedule the whole meeting.
A further communication detailing all of the information that affected competitors will need will be issued in due course. Please do not call or email
the Club office to try to find out for yourself - this will only impede and delay the work that the team need to do.
Please could we ask that some true 'club spirit' is shown and you make sure fellow competitors, marshals etc that may not have seen this
announcement are aware of the news.
Thank you for your understanding and co-operation.
