Looking at the schedule it appears that the long race at the end of Sat night 2-3 hours normally was only 30-45mins this year? wTF.

Group V cars usually racing for hours into dust v 30-45mins of well sprint race no thanks

The team running it are very greedy and have been for some years let's face it.

I used to go with me Dad when it started, must be ten or so years ago and it was fun, relatively cheap, good racing and a massive variety. Bikes, nice car stands, which let''s face it should not add much to anyones reasons for going.

Then it became big, low rate bands started appearing, ticket prices went through the roof and I stopped going as it was dearer than most other meetings I would attend.

This year was stupidity, Le Mans classic, then Goodwood and now this, the market is massively overloaded, the entry fees even for drivers are insane after LM and the ticket prices are not short of scandalous for what is basically a historic race meeting with some two bit covers bands and UB40 thrown in.

Glad people are saying it was crap, hope this might make the greedy sons of a bhes running it think again about the format.

But this might be Silverstone as the WEC round is also massively overpriced this year and you just feel as a fan you are paying extra to cover F1 hosting fees, hence why Ihardly visit Silverstone anymore.
Did you watch WEC at the Red Bull circuit today? Stands practically empty

If Silverstone cannnot turn a profit over the F1 weekend with 300,000 visitors they are doing something very wrong.
