Whilst I agree with the first part, the highlighted part simply isn't true. Maybe if you're locked into a spot at the GP, perhaps, but for the WEC, I have hours to wander the whole circuit, use some free grandstands etc. There just needs to be recognition that there is life outside F1. (I would love to have Bridge back though. My son works for Porsche and at the weekend they had an open day. I did a few laps on a gaming simulator they had - and it was the old Silverstone with Bridge......
