The Silvestone Classic is a commercially promoted meeting and the organisers should be concentrating on getting the best possible historic grids; not extracting the levels of entry fees that have been mentioned on here. I don't see any justification in talking about entry fees of circa £1000 for two sprint races in order for the organisers (not the HSCC!) to make a return on their investment. Once again, the competitors are expected to pay for the priviledge of entertaining the crowd, who have already paid to watch the event and therefore presumably contributing to the commercial success of the event. Greed will kill the Silverstone Classic?
