I never expect a packed place anyway apart from Le Mans with sports cars, and yes, I understand it's all about publicity. As I keep saying, they are clearly doing something wrong - why on earth can they not just get some decent PR company to come along and promote the series? Surely you get bums on seats first, then the manufacturers come into the series, rather than the other way round? Its so, so very infuriating that no one turns up.
