I've heard nothing from the MT members of the RC and it is they that talk direct to New Era so I'm as much in the dark as everybody else.
What I do know is Donington has 40 per grid and on average Superclub runs 10 different grids, maximum income for the meeting at £130 per grid slot would be £52k from 400 competitors
Even if only 200 entered and paid £180 each for 4 races then track hire is almost covered, but as the meeting is over sunscribed then entries for a second class could be returned as over subscribed allowing NE to maximise income while sticking to the normal Superclub 2 race per class format.
So why one race, maybe they are trying to fit in 11 or 12 grids which could add another £9k to there income.
I'm not impressed I've entered 4 races at a cost of £180 and if I only get offered 2 races for it I can see myself asking for my money back, there is always the chance they could both be Red flaged at the half way mark
