RTH should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Well, saying that nothing can ever be done and we have to put up with things as they are for ever is not going to help at all.
The bare facts are that just taking part at a minimal level has now got so expensive that perhaps half the potential competitors have turned away from it probably for ever.Poor quality and quantity entries also mean no spectators.
Britain is on the verge of a period of unprecedented public spending cuts counted in hundreds of billions over the next decade.
This will result in millions of job losses over time, in both the public and knock on in to the private sectors only this time it will be a lot of very well paid people who will suddenly find themselves out of work.
The consequential contraction of discretionary revenue available for leisure spending will further take away current competitors from motor racing which in many cases will kill off events, meetings and venues.
Like anything else if your prices are too high, you have no customers and then no business.
A crisis is looming and survival means radical thinking and action.
