 mmmmm!
Seems to me most racers bring the minimum of helpers ('cept Shep of course) yet the riders are the people any spectators would be interested in.
What about giving 5 or 6 '50% OFF' vouchers to the racers to boost the crowd figures. Maybe sponsors might turn up if they could bring their families to a weekend event rather than the single ticket allocated by new era.
Bigger crowds do give a buzz though. Assen was always ace for that. Coming round those last lefts to the chicane and seeing the Grandstands with a good size audience was quite uplifting. So it was with the Marshals waving their flags with such gusto at the end of the race.
Thats what we need, bigger and better flags! |
