Thanks GTR, I can see that saving but what about this from TC on 14 September?

He (TC) said the idea was mooted a year ago, and that V8s will receive its fee from Bahrain for the event in November this year, even though it will not go ahead, and again for the February event.

What "fee" is that exactly? And why are they still paying it?
