I think the maximum grid at Thruxton is 35, so 60% would be 21. Multiplying that by nine grids equals 189 so with just over 130 cars entered it's easy to see that the BARC probably made a substantial loss. Hopefully this was just a blip and the meeting can bounce back next year.
I see the HRDC's Gerry Marshall Trophy for Group 1/1.5 saloons begins at Snetterton this weekend with nearly thirty cars entered. Shame they weren't at Thruxton last weekend !
