Bella - You are quite right about the cost of circuit hire frightening off prospective event organisers, but that is slowly starting to change as more and more weekend dates are going unsold to racing activities.
With many venues now being forced to run Trackdays on what were once Prime weekend dates, the operators are beginning to become more open to unusual ideas.
Watch this space.
----------------
Powertour was a Roger Etcell/Chris Norman/Peter Gaydon project, designed to make the old F3/GT package more promotable and welcoming to prospective spectators.
It got swallowed whole by BMP (remember them?) and the new people running it didn't have the passion or knowledge to follow the idea through correctly.
Stephan Ratel (SRO) who has come in for much - mostly unfair - critisism stepped in to save it from being dropped entirely from the promoted calendar. It has never really recovered from the BMP years.
