Add to the gate $$$$ debate that TMC only declare their share of the gate takings. Every circuit has their own contract with them as to the level of services, equipment and manpower supplied etc and this is reflected in the share of the gate.
As a member of a car club that actually owns it's race circuit complete with all land, buildings and equipment etc I do have a pretty good understanding of how much it costs to run any race meeting be it a club day or an international status meeting.
Trust me there is s.f.a. left at the end of the day and there in lies the major problem.
Live TV does not help either, that has decimated gate numbers
