The British Grand Prix will take place at Donington Park in Leicestershire, England through the 2009 season, according to an announcement by Dorna Sports.

Donington Park has recently completed a large-scale resurfacing project, which included increasing run-off room at Craner Curves and the Old Hairpin and installing 850 meters of “Vallelunga” curbing, which is said to be safer for crashed riders to slide over while still being a course-cutting deterrent to racecars.

The second phase of the $8.3 million renovation project, to be completed over the next two years, will see the infrastructure of the paddock improved, including new facilities for race control, timing and scoring, media and new pit lane and paddock garages.
