At the risk of going of topic: I agree that there is no reason why Renault should stage this event. However they have done so for a number of years.
A lot of people greatly looked forward to this event, much as 6 hours of Silverstone is a highlight of mine.
Accordingly many are disappointed when something they have got used to is taken away from them.
I agree that many of the opinions expressed on the facebook page are obnoxious, bordering on the downright rude.
I applaud Renault for staging a corporate event that provides great entertainment for a family at no charge.
Motorsport in general could learn that Good Product + Good Advertising - discounted prices = more bums on seats.
Our sport is insular and self serving. This, more than environmental concerns, will be the death of it.
RWS bucked the trend and will be missed.
I think Silverstone served the series and the public well. No where else could ever stage an event of such magnitude. I suspect no other RWS venue acheived the numbers of the British round.
