Ok: Money is a good point - too expensive, damage etc and all of above.
What about facilities, friendlyness, and help?
If you are at the cheaper end of the sport and start with the basics (trailer, kart and maybe a basic gazebo) to see if this is another flash in the pan for the driver, what's on offer at the circuit makes a huge difference. So decent toilets with water to wash hands, someone saying hello and offering a bit of help, and the ultimate of a hot clean shower / club house (or at least somewhere to thaw out) and nice food /hot drinks i am sure would help. If you are faced with huge motorhomes, and your driver isnt doing too well because you dont have the experience to help them, youre on a budget so buying help isnt an option, and no one explains that it takes a while to develop racecraft- people will give up. When was the last time you went to a circuit for the first time and didnt know anyone? We accidentally fell on our feet starting in F6 where help was offered abundance, but that is because the club did act as a sort of big family. Clubs need to consider what attracts people, what makes them stay and what makes people stop racing: do it for themselves and not wait for the MSA or anyone to wave a magic wand.
