Donington Park

THE OWNERS of Donington Park circuit have said they are not in a position to reveal the new leaseholders of the troubled East Midlands racetrack.

Circuit owner Kevin Wheatcroft was hoping to announce the family's decision over who would take over the track at the Save Donington Parade this coming Sunday 7th March, but a spokesman for Mr Wheatcroft said the announcement has been postponed.

"Unfortunately, we won't be able to say who's taking over this weekend. We wanted to announce the decision on Sunday in front of thousands of supporters.

"But it's important to make sure we make the right choice and not rush the decision," said Wheatcroft's spokesman.

An announcement about the new leaseholders is expected from the Wheatcroft family within the next week.
