The utter stupidity of a man like Bellamy beggars belief.
It was never economically viable because you scared so many people off with the prices you quoted, and you can see from this reply that he was not interested in fans, he wanted festival type people, no-one is going to go unless you give them exactly what you want, it was priced as a festival, not a race event, was a stupid idea from the start really. They need transport links, camping decently priced and better bands, they got a few of these things but not all, hence no-one one bothered.
I wonder why that might be eh Paul.
Fair play to Silverstone, they saw through it and made IMG hire the whole venue, they made their money, let them build in a place that would never affect the day to day running and lost nothing really.
Also, isn't losing Canada and COTA make this is a non world championship now?
