Andy H should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Good topic, is the Belgium price so low I thought is was about £115 GA or something like that?

Reasons well I guess they must include:

- exchange rate the strong pound tends to make some of the other countries look pretty cheap.

- what you can get away with (or supply/demand) the US GP tickets start from very low prices (someone give me the exact figure?) perhaps because they don't think at £90GA they could ever fill Indianapolis.

Even allowing for the above there are still differences perhaps from

- tradition/culture
- the objectives of the circuit owners plc. status or not too much pressure to turnover a big profit.


It is fair to say the UK is expensive though GA at CART Surfers Paradise was about the same as BTCC meeting!

What do others think why the price differences between countries themselves and series eg. F1 vs. CART etc.
