There are plenty of motorsports events running during the summer over here with national and international rallies running every other week which would be a large draw on any Rallycross crowd. In my opnion the point is that even with these events on a bigger crowd will turn up on a summer day than a cold, rainy day in November weather that be the UK or Ireland. Yes you will have some lunatics standing in a forest up to in the knees muck but run the same event on a nice day you will always get a bigger crowds as locals or fair weather fans will allways swell numbers.
Although I can see the that there could be a benefit with a better chance of a t.v slot, this would be in part be offset by the drop in crowds on track.
