I think this part of his response goes to show that when people think of the UK they are actually thinking of London.
Thruxton is a big trek for a large part of the country to be getting to (and back from) on a sunday. Especially when the BTCC has rounds nearer to home over the course of a season. In a country where it's hard for football teams to get fans to travel great distances on a work night I think it's fantasy to expect huge crowds at every BTCC round including the finale.
