In all honesty, I think that getting 20 driver is a bit ambitious.
More realistic would be looking at 15 drivers at €50 ea. From the club point of view we need to gaurentee the rent each month. The cost of renting is a major outlay for the club finances when added to the other items that will be needed to be purchased to make the winter racing happen.
Tolls, nothing really we can do about that, apart from look at alternative routes. Sunday mornings it could be as quick to go though the city centre!
But we need to look at the positives of this opportunity the club has. The size of the venue is more than we could have hoped for. I do understand that the location will not suit everyone. But we have to go with what we can find.
From a size point of view, we will be able to construct a track with a layout comparable to an outdoor track. The track in some respects will be better then outdoor as it will be a permanent lay-out for the winter. (Giving us the possibility of building jumps and rhythm sections.) As well as the track the venue will also be able to facilitate a large number of racers.
Personally I think this is a great opportunity for the club to grow and develop over the winter season.
