Donington Park motor racing track owner Tom Wheatcroft has died after a long illness, his spokesman has confirmed.
Mr Wheatcroft, who was 87 years old, bought Donington for £100,000 in 1971 and restored the circuit.
He brought the European Grand Prix to the site in 1993, an event widely remembered as one of the late Ayrton Senna's best races.
