MRL in general has been struggling away from the Silverstone Classic.
In recent years the Amon Cup for GT40s failed, the HTCC grid has declined slowly but surely, the Jaguar Challenge is on a hiatus this year, Pre 63 GT has just returned from one but even that seems to be just a Pre 63 Jag Fest.
The 50's sportscar grid is now combined whereas it used to always be a split grid at Donington and Silverstone for the Woodcote and Stirling Moss grids.
Both the 70s Touring Challenge and U2TC have never gained traction.
The success has been the Pall Mall Cup which seems to have done well.
Reasons could be the grids are quite niche, a mostly UK based calendar, the same races every year so not massive variety calendar wise, other race series taking away some of the grid fillers like in HTCC and ofc most of the MRL grids are for the typical Pre 66 which have lessened in popularity.
