Until the British oval racing product improves, stadiums like Wimbledon will always struggle. I have been to tracks all over the country, and 99% of the racing is in dull uninspiring beat up old cars.
I used to go to Wimbledon in the 90's, when I lived nearby. There was a show on Motors TV from Wimbledon last year, it looked like the same cars from 20 years ago, and the commentator was trying to tout it as the UK equivalent of NASCAR. Frankly I was embarrassed. 20 old sierras hitting a fence made from railway track and cable.
The National Hot Rods are incredibly boring, our stock cars are allowed too much contact, and the best prepared race cars in the country are bangers.
Spedeworth run 20 series, which seem to all resemble bangers. The only decent series in England are the BRISCA F1 cars, and they won't race outside of the midlands and north.
