All About the First Donington Meeting.

DONINGTON PARK will be the scene of renewed activity this month, for the first meeting of the year takes place on March 24th, starting at 1 p.m. The alterations to the circuit have now been completed, and the course now measures 2 miles, 1,000 yards. There

will be seven 5-lap scratch races for cars ranging from 8.50 c.c. unsupercharged to 3,000 c.c. supercharged. In all except one, the first prize will consist of £5 and a Donington statuette. The 3,000 c.c. supercharged and unsupercharged race will carry a first prize of £10 and a statuette.

No passengers or mechanics are now allowed at Donington, both during practice and racing. Entries at £1 per event close on Thursday, March 15th. It is interesting to note that a Silver Challenge Trophy will be awarded this year for the fastest lap of the season.
