yeah, the problem with hyping these events is that they become a victim of their own success. having it alongside better availability of drivers for spectators and more on-track stuff at the actual grand prix makes a lot of sense. whilst everyone might not be able to afford to go to a grand prix they might be able to get to a free demo and exhibition about the sport. shame they couldn't set something up for the weekend alongside the gp in the olympic/qe2 park for people to see.
