That is what I think as well so I am going to contact everybody who has said they are going and also those who have posted up stating where and when they are staying asking them if it is ok to include this info in a list to be used to attempt to push the event
Of course only the relevant username will be used and no other personal details like real names or car Registrations or model

Donington have released the following info and images of upgrade work being carried out before the DHF
NEWS: Major programme of winter works underway at Donington.
An extensive programme of upgrades and enhancements is well underway at Donington Park, as the East Midlands circuit prepares for its second full season under MotorSport Vision - MSV operation.
Full list of improvements and upgrades:
New spectator entry at Paddock Entrance with concrete wall removed
Improvements to spectator entry at Fogarty Esses
Tunnel to infield at Esses to receive new LED lighting and better signage
Metal crowd barriers in spectator areas replaced with more attractive wooden equivalents
Greater vehicle capacity at Starkey's Parking area
️ Significant improvement works on infield campsite drainage
New and improved signage throughout the venue
Relocation of race winners' podium
Several brand new marshal posts
Additional concrete run-off on exit kerb of Old Hairpin
Recycling areas in paddocks for competitors and track users
New Pit Lane Suite ideal for briefings, meetings, banquets & conferences
Hundreds of new trees planted
So does this mean that we won't have to use that c****y infield track? If they are building new entry AND exit, I might just take a punt.

For anyone who hasn't yet booked accommodation Hotels.com are presently giving a 10% reduction code on many Hotels , for example a double room can be booked at the Cedars Hotel (plenty of members staying there) for £38.37 per night, cheap as chips just add the discount code AFFVCUKQ1519 when booking your room. If you don't fancy The Cedars there are plenty of others.

Thought I'd cash in on the action, just booked a Saturday ticket, and booked a room at Cedars on Saturday night again this year (prices are jumping with demand, cheapest I just got was £49.38 for a single room with discount directly). I'm planning on doing Japfest again on the Sunday, makes for a nice scene change on the way home...
