I do think you're on to something though James, but maybe it would be better for manufacturers / Distributors to organise Team Days where they will be Testing / Practising and invite people along that have a Car or kit made by this company (or imported by the distributor) then maybe charge people £5 or £10 for a day practising - all of which funds go towards the Club they choose to do it at??
I.E if Schumacher decided to have a Team Test day at Kiddy and invited anyone with a Cat SX to come along for some tuition and help with Set-ups they could cap it at 30 invites or whatever, and Kiddy would get a nice £300 or so for letting them use the venue.....
I think the key thing to focus on is encouraging people into the hobby so ploughing money back into the clubs is a good place to start at least......
What about Test days or Beginner days for people to come along and have a go with a RTR RC10 B4 for instance and just pay £5 for it to see if they like racing??
