From most of the reports the funds appear to be in place. Donington Park suggested they would be ready with their shovels within minutes of the approval being given.

I think the only speculation is now whether contractors will physically be able to complete the construction in the 18 month window.


The most annoying thing from all this is NWLDC!! They take forEVER to approve plans for EMA, escpecially the runway lengthening etc.

But the Donington Park plans were submitted, reviewed, and approved within months!

Now, dont get me wrong - I am pleased about the Donington Park plans, as they also intend to make the venue attractive all year round with hi-tech auditauria and facilities for concerts/events etc - all of which will be of some benefit to EMA.

The frustration is that NWDLC can clearly move like lightening for some things, and as slow a treacle for others.
