I would *hate* to see them butcher Donny just to host a modern F1 race.
Would be interesting to try to work out how they would need to change the track. The work going on to build new pits would I think already bring that side of things up to F1 standard.
They'd have to shorten the main straight, or bulldoze a bit of Donny market, to get more run-off at turn 1, for a start.

Oh well then that is totally out of the question! <G>

Somehow I thought that might be a deal breaker for you ;)

The hairpin at the end of the loop doesn't have much run-off though and I don't think they could sort that out easily, so they'd probably have to shorten the loop too. ...
