I think some of that is down to travel costs, and proximity to their own target audience guests.
For the Brands round(s), some of the manufacturers will be inviting their corporate guests who are more likely to be London based than further north.
Did you notice if Toyota had any presence at Donington?
Looking at where manufacturers are based, it leans towards more southerly focus:
BMW - Hampshire
Honda - Swindon
MG - Oxford
Subaru - Coleshill
Vauxhall - Luton
I would be surprised if BMW, MG and Honda were not at Thruxton in force.
