Donington announces new Managing Director - Christopher Tate
Christopher Tate is a 30+ year motorsport industry veteran, with a career
which includes senior positions at Lola Cars International, the Elan
Panoz group, and as a co-founder and director in the start-up and
construction of Rockingham Motor Speedway. From 2004 to 2010, Tate also
led the rapid growth of the Masters Historic Racing group, which is now
the market leader in historic motorsport across Europe.
Tate said:- “I am truly delighted to have been entrusted with this
challenging new task and wonderful heritage. Donington is about a
driving passion, in every sense. Tom Wheatcroft was an inspiration to so
many, and Kevin having decided last year to take back control, has put
the same energy and drive into reviving this wonderful circuit. I’m a
Donington fan; I was here on the original opening day back in 1977; I’ve
raced here often, always extremely badly, and with the Masters Series, I
was very proud to have organised the re-opening Revival Meeting on the
first weekend in September 2010. Now there’s a great deal to do, but
most of the pieces of the jigsaw are falling into place. I hope that
every customer, from the top world professional series, to the club
racer, the track day enthusiast, and every spectator will see and enjoy
the steady programme of improvements we have planned. We all here aim to
ensure that this great circuit remains the UK’s heart and soul of
passionate, challenging motorsport”
