The issue of government funding is not a separate issue altogether it is the fundamental central issue.They are incredibly expensive to stage ,cannot return a profit(except with the most creative of accounting procedures) ,drain tax dollars from things they should be spent on and incidentally drain resources and money away from everyone else in motor sport except for The Artist and his associates.Clipsal 500 spends upward of $20million to attract 11,000 tourists.This makes no sense to me yet this event is held up as being the model for all to follow(I really like the event though).Street races may be good for V8's but they are not paying for them-politicians are with other people's money-our taxes.
