It is true that Cirdcuits are happy with income whether its from the track day market or the race market but i cannot believe that the track day market is unaffected by the economic climate. Discussions with an Instructor friend of mine indicate that he is down in bookings and that many of the track day providers are struggling to get full days.

Add to that the fact that Donington is now operating again after a year off prior to the recession really biting (& is applying for more race days in a planning application) & that Silverstone now has the South circuit & Stowe which it is trying to market to clubs as race venues, we now appear to have more circuits, more race/ track days but fewer people who are able or willing to race/ track. Something has got to give and I suggest that should be circuit hire fees. Its supply & demand; there is currently increased supply & less demand!
