I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene:
Land owner permission not required.
Donington Park racetrack lies just to the west of East Midlands Airport and within their FRZ. Permission for the flight was obtained from East Midlands Airport on one of its runway maintenance closure days. This shot was taken looking west towards Coppice & McLean’s from outside the racetrack perimeter.
Donington Park is run by ex-F1 driver Jonathan Palmer’s Motorsport Vision International, with the land leased from the Wheatcroft family. It is host to all kinds of motorsport events, from Superbikes to Trucks, Public Track Days, Moto GP and BTCC Touring Cars. In 1993 it held the Formula One European Grand Prix which was won in torrential rain by the legendary Ayrton Senna.
Donington Park is also home to the world-famous Download (previously Monsters of Rock) Festival annually which sees over 100,000 music fans attend to see the likes of Iron Maiden, Guns and Roses, Linkin Park and Metallica.
TOAL was from the public footpath by the road to Castle Donington.
The originator declared that this location was inside a flight restriction zone at the time of being flown. Permission to fly was obtained from ops.safety@eastmidlandsairport.com. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location.
