How well do you know Donington Park ?

Question

I thought we might have a little quiz before my home MOTOGP round.

This is a bit of a sado quiz, so I would not blame you if you used Google to help !!

--------------------------------------...

1) When was DP ( Donington Park) first opened?

2) Who was the last British rider to stand on the podium of a 500cc race?

3) & what was the year?

4) When did a NZL rider last win at DP? (any class)

5) & who was this?

6) Who won at DP and then quit racing?

--------------------------------------...

First to get all six and you will be awarded with a total of 12 points.

The winner or closet to it will be in my good books as well !!

Answer 1

Much as I'd love to be in anybodies good books, I have the memory of a goldfish (and he wants it back!) so I could cut and paste the above answer - which looks good to me - or just ask you how excited you are about it?

Are you going to both test days too? Judging from your previous answers, I'm betting you're off to the day of champions as well! That's got to be a good day out - if you can resist blowing the nest egg on those auction prizes
