KW Studios, developers of RaceRoom Racing Experience, released screenshots of a new circuit today. Eagle-eyes racers and fanatics alike immediately recognised the teased track to be nothing else than classic Donington Park Circuit.
Hitting close to the heart of many racers, the inclusion of Donington in RaceRoom is a phenomenal new addition. Even though to avid followers it might be a surprising one. Seeing as during a live-stream event on the last track release, Interlagos, the next circuit was said to be "less well known".
The track was the first-ever permanent park circuit in the UK, ending the monopoly of Brooklands in 1931.
The most impressive feature of the circuit is that its current layout still closely resembles the olden days. 2 thirds of the track, the part from the Craner Curves until Starkey's Straight, remains virtually unchanged. The main difference is a few buildings and trees have been demolished in the meantime.
In that regard, the fast and flowing parts of Donington, what makes it really stand out nowadays, are still a leftover from the wild west days of motor racing.
In any case, it is queued as the next release, so here's to hoping we may indeed very soon get to enjoy this beautiful track in all its glory all over again!
