I need to have my Bex and have a good lie down, methinks. Thanks for setting me straight, btw.
Pretty silly argument here... The bulk of the crowd figures are not interested in motorsport at all, that includes the V8's.

Crowd figures are not the main reason the government hosts the event. It is to gain international exposure. They may lose money at the time on the event, but the local tourism profits in the end.

If the event is simply V8 supercars, there will be no international exposure and hence the event would be worthless to the government.
