dont disagree with you but my point was unless a GP happens to be very near to the city/venue you live in there are a lot more costs involved then just race tickets.
logically if sanctioning fees went down one would assume that there would be a corresponding decrease in ticket prices (wont happen because the promoters want to make money too). but if they did go down, one could also assume that more people would want to go but the knock on effect is that the other cost associated with attending (hotels,travel, parking, etc) will go up because of the increased demand. for all intents and purposes im just saying that reducing sanctioning fees wont change the fact that going to a GP is an expensive proposition. the vast majority of fans will watch on TV no matter what. hence that argument 'there are no real F1 fans in that parts of the world' is not a valid complaint imo. additionally the need for the money to roll in benefits the teams more than anyone other group...if several fly away races are whats needed to keep the teams out of the red then whats the problem? |

I was torn about watching the race because I wanted to go moose hunting early in the morning and the race started at 0530hrs. So, the race was extremely boring and it was an easy decision to go for moose instead of watching the entire race. I rated it a 4 (from what I saw).
