Ah yes, but how far would £10 get the car you drive now?
Its worth remembering that a big percentage of the crowd that goes to motorsport events drive relatively powerful cars, Im not talking Ferrari's etc, but top of the range Vectras, Mondeos, Laguna's, Impreza's etc - all of which are hungry on fuel. I know that doesent apply to everyone, but it does to a lot of people. Ive got quite a few friends in the motorsport world and most of them tend to go for 4 door saloons/hatchback's - but they tend to be at the higher performance end of the model rather than the more base line models.
