DONINGTON PARK, BEST CIRCUIT IN THE COUNTRY!Donington Park will mark 20 years of WSBK racing this weekend when the Corona Extra SBK Superbike World Championship (WSBK™) arrives at the Leicestershire circuit for the European round of 2007.Carl Fogarty, four-time Superbike World champion, has been around for most of that time, winning more races and championships than any other rider in WSBK history. The Donington Park expert, who says it is by far his favourite circuit, won his last-ever UK race at Donington Park in 1999 before becoming head of his own WSBK team, Foggy Petronas Racing. “I love Donington Park,” said Foggy, as he is known to his millions of fans. “It’s by far the best circuit in the country for riding as far as I’m concerned. It seemed to suit my kind of riding and I had a lot of success there.”After retiring from the sport eight years ago, Foggy’s famously fierce competitive edge has softened slightly, and the Donington Park specialist – who even has a corner at the circuit named in his honour – has spoken about the best way to ride the notoriously tricky Craner Curve complex.“Some guys find it really hard to go fast at Donington for a year or two,” said the 41-year-old, who won six WSBK races, scored four pole positions and recorded seven fastest laps at Donington Park during his career. “They can’t figure it out. People try too hard. You’ve just got to let the bike run through the corners; let the bike do all the work.“I liked going through Craner Curves, it’s where I made up time. The first part of it is all on the right side. When you lift the bike up and flick to the left, some people take their time, but I didn’t do that. I kept the throttle open and went very fast. I usually went up the inside of a few people through there.”The crowd-favourite was present for the first-ever WSBK race, which was held at Donington Park in 1988, competing in a support category. “I had just recovered from a broken leg,” he said. “Somebody was leading and was brought down on the last lap if I remember. And I think the points scoring system was a bit crazy. I think you only got points if you finished both races; something weird like that.“It was pretty obvious WSBK had great potential even then. A world series based on bikes that people ride around the roads every day was always going to be successful.”More information on the Corona Extra SBK Superbike World Championship event at Donington Park can be found at www.donington-park.co.ukAdvance tickets are still available, offering a £15 discount on the gate price, by visiting Donington Park directly until Thursday 29 March.
