New Corner Names for Donington Park

#1 Post by Falcomille » Fri Sep 11, 2009 6:05 pm

Hmm.. got me thinking this one. My daughter has just told me that the development work at Donington Park is slowing up because they have had some Archeologists on site doing some "Time Team"-style digging, and they have found some ancient sites, including an old gallows site. This got me thinking... as they are likely to be re-naming most of the corners (who the hell in F1 has heard of Keving Schwantz or Carl Foggarty), so maybe we could give them some alternative names...
Gallows humour anyone?

Melbourne Loop - now Hangmans Loop?
Goddards - now Deadards?
