Ah! Good to hear it was nothing worse. I have heard of others whose season will start later than they had hoped for similar reasons.

On another positive note after a time of disappointment the estate preparation at Donington seems to be making an impression.

In addition to the Formula E HQ development next to the paddock entrance the perimeter road from there to the Exhibition centre and the other side of the EC towards the Museum has been rebuilt with some lovely smooth tarmac. A very welcome development I would say.

If that's the way things are to go once the infield redevelopment and the Formula E campus are complete it should make for a great facility once more.
