Sorry, should have been clearer as I included the hill-climb venues. And you would have thought that the BRDC would have at least broken even at Silverstone where they at least have annual lease fees paid to them from the property company they leased out the rest of their site to, plus the gate income from the GP plus all the other fees they rake in.

But they don't; they're losing about £1.5 million a year as well, and that's just one circuit.
