National Rally
The control is in the car park of Moto (M&S Costa) Services near junction 23a of the M1. It opens 12.00 midday Saturday. It is NOT a final control and therefore closes at 5.40am on Sunday. If you want to stay out all night but find it difficult to think up your own excuses why not volunteer? You don't need to come on a motorcycle. There is a lot of information on LPMCC.net including Operating Instructions. Control is signed "Donington Services" and can be reached from several routes:
Parking is free for up to 2 hours. Over that time there is a charge of £8 payable at the restaurant.* Services are open 24hours but some of the shops (including M&S) are closed from 10pm to 7am. There is a cash machine, Wi-Fi and Internet access. There is a Harvester restaurant on the services. It is open for breakfast from 7am to noon and for other meals until 10pm. There is a Travelodge within the services. NOTE: The map now shows 2013 controls! On The DayKegworth Control operates four watches beginning at 11.30am to set up stall ready for the riders who began the event from Kegworth. Watches last for five hours.
