Because of the lack of interest and leadership in 'club' level motorsport by the MSA, and hence the way it is run in UK.

The circuit owners rent out the venue by the day and get paid no matter what happens or however many/few people come through the gate, so have no need or interest in promotion or developing events.

The event organisers (the permit-holding motor racing clubs) carry the commercial risk and plan to cover the costs with the expected entry fees; they do not have the depth of experience or numbers of people to do more than just run the races.

'that's the way we've always done it' syndrome.

PS - a forum search should reveal plenty of previous on this subject.
