Have just been watching another round of ASCAR (or whatever it's called) on Sky TV, and was struck yet again by how few people there seemed to be in the crowd.

I know it's a big place, with massive galleries, but seriously there can't have been more than about 200 people in the whole place.

All this begs the question of how on earth is Rockingham actually making any money as a business? From recollection it cost something over £100 million and you can't maintain bank loans on that lot with a few trackdays, test sessions and sparten-crowded racedays.

Anyone care to shed some light or a viewpoint on this?

Some interesting responses.

Going back to my original post, do you folks who've been there think the place will survive, given the limited racing programme and apparently small(ish) attendances?
