It's risk and return though, isn't it?

Various track owners in the UK have pointed out that they make more money at the circuit from a single Corporate event on a Saturday morning than they do from the three/four days of a SuperOne meeting.

Unless improving the facilities is going to increase the profitable arrive and drive substantially there is little point. That improvement depends more on location than anything else.

Additionally, I have heard that many councils in Europe support their local track, while in the UK it is more likely that the local council is trying to close the track down (driven, one has to admit, more by 'the public' than council inclination). In part that may be because Britain is densely populated. You build a track on a deserted airfield in the UK and next thing they've built a housing estate next door and want the track shut down because it's noisy.

It's going to get worse too.
