Good point well made. Remember The Sun free race days many years back? And the World Series by Renault? Free race meetings well promoted and heaving with eager punters.

Many years ago Howard Strawford at Combe said races were around 50 per cent too long. Half the race time, double the number of races he said. He understood what customers wanted. I haven't been to Combe for many years, but under his stewardship the place was often bursting at the seams.

However, the flip side of that is it begs the question: who is racing for? Spectators? Then tell drivers what to drive and keep the race fees low. The drivers? Then forget the spectators and concentrate on maximum value from the track time.

Difficult balance.
