Exactly. The BRDC have to make the money to pay Bernie to host the GP, which means trackdays, clubs meets, etc all contribute to bankrolling the hideous wee troll that is Ecclestone.
It was definitely a good thing that the BRDC didn't just back down and raid the coffers for the extra $3m, as we'd have ended up picking up the tab at the next TD.
