What a load of b******s! First of all I thought it was a plan to get people from the main gate to the circuit, run the 5km it almost is and get in for 30 quid! Seriously though this whole event is bringing world rallycross down.Sure IMG are charging a fortune to hold a round but they are not forcing them to have music acts that don't come cheap either. They obviously think rallycross doesn't sell on its own, maybe that's why they weren't prepared yesterday for what still turned out to be not a big crowd but more than they seem to be expecting.
They claim speedmachine to be some kind of music festival too but the music press have shown hardly any interest in it. And who are these new type of fans IMG have brought into the sport? The 4 rounds I did last year seemed to have the usual mix of people rallycross has always attracted, for sure more of them but not in anyway a younger crowd. This event though will undoubtedly see numbers drop and families virtually excluded due to cost.
