again they have exactly the same problem at the wsr events. it's a really good weekend, free motorsport at a pretty high level, lots of it and the racing is split evenly between two days so there's no advantage to attending either day in particular. there's plenty of non-track things to do. but people seem to be bored of it and attendance is dropping, even in hungary where there's hardly any top level motorsport and the attendance has always been through the roof.
i suppose the problem is trying to find another new toy or gimmick to encourage people through the door but not drawing attention away from the main event and the main purpose of the whole thing. not only do you have to spend on a new attraction, you have to spend on new advertising to make it known, which is a difficult thing to get approval and funds for. especially with mixed-brand events like dtm.
