Well we all know the GP is a rip off so we perhaps shouldn't use their prices as a comparison. I was just hoping for better value from the new series given it is brand new and has no credentials to justify such a high price. And I don't think a huge amount of the support bill, either, to be honest. The GT race is an invitational event, I believe, and you can see club racing like FPA or FF1600 for a tenner if you so desire. TGP is good but I've seen it half a dozen times now so is no biggy for me.
Don't let me detract from what will hopefully be a great day for you, but I'll be saving my pennies unless I can blag another freebie ticket...
