Bad news for Rockingham 2019 event
Discussion
Gutted, For those of you that came to Rockingham this year I said I would definitely arrange another one for next year...
Rockingham was the cheapest place to hire by a long mile but today I read this?

I suppose I can look around to see what any of the other circuits will offer but I know that this will not come cheap at all.....

That's a great shame but I have to say, when at the track day this year, I did look around at all the huge empty grandstands and think "How can this lot possibly pay for itself?"
Anyway, don't give it up Paul. I'm sure you'll come up with an alternative venue and make it work as this year's event was superb.

The business case for Rockingham has always puzzled me too.
I found this article today, which tells the whole story

Most surprised to discover that it was Guy Hands who partly financed this motor racing circuit.
It amused me that he clearly had not talked to his children to find out about free music downloads, before buying EMI for about £3bn. That did not have a happy ending either.
