Despite having an eleven meeting season ahead of us we still managed to field the following grids at the first four meetings

March 2015 Brands= 18 Entrants (should have been 20 but 2 were ruled out following crashes on the Friday test day)
April 2015 Cadwell = 24 Entrants
May 2015 Pembrey = 16 Entrants
May 2015 Snetterton = 22 Entrants

With entries averaging around £225 for a weekend meeting this equates to

Brands = £4050 (should have been £4500)
Cadwell = £5400
Pembrey = £3600
Snetterton = £4950

Any idea how much it costs to hire the circuits kev?
Because with the £255ish weekends and £120/130 test days even with my simple mathematics the amount of bike going round in all classes at setterton adds up to tens of thousands!! The endurance boys payed over £600 per team at snetteton as well!!!!
Add in garage hire transponder hire and you find it hard to see how a company can go bust especially as they get paid upfront you don't get on track without paying!!!

These days I'd expect around £30 for a weekend for some circuits, plus paying for Doctor, Medical staff, the Marshals small reimbursement, other officials etc all adds up to quite a bit
Not been many grids bigger than DD of late and some have riders doing a second class which only brings in another £40 per day
So based on an average DD grid of £4500 you would need another 6 similar grids to be looking at breaking even
