With the exception of TRS which isnt made for NZ anymore, its made for foreigners and NZ teams to run them, most people want to spend time with the family, especially after this summer and that goes for attendees as well.

I think TRS was always shaking the cup around for foreign drivers to come over, but I notice they got aggressive about it after the GFC and they had that one season where grid numbers were not very good(9-10 cars at some rounds? I can't remember). Then I started seeing a lot more advertising overseas and blurbs in places like Autosport.
If you are a cashed up Euro who needs some drive time and some seasoning, certainly it's a great option, which is why many have taken it up and filled out the field.
What happens next, I don't know. Personally I'd like to see something a bit more exciting with more horsepower.
