Thanks “me”. Added an image to the post to give a rough idea what the proposed layout will look like. Pitlane and paddock will be moved to the remodelled straight following the adjusted Coppice Corner (in other words, Turn One will be the hairpin).

I was always convinced that the Donington race would not happen but I was surprised when I read this earlier. It will be interesting to see what any of the participants have to say.
