Agreed. I haven't been to a GP for about 15 years and only go to a BTCC round occasionally. I think it caught me out because Mallory is my local circuit and there are always burger and chips, donuts, ice cream and bars open in addition to the circuit cafe even at a clubbie. How much longer that can continue I don't know as I don't think they do a roaring trade. A couple of years ago when we raced at Silverstone at a BRSCC meeting (I was mechanic, my brother driving) not even the paddock cafe was open! Ho hum. I must say though that the crowd at Donington on Sunday was very small. When I wandered out to McLeans and Coppice the marshals outnumbered the crowd even though they were very lightly manned.
