There was a massive crowd of about 10?
there was 500,000 tickets sold, but some **** nuckle spoiled the result for them by telling the result before they turned up, so they didnt show mh
On the telecast on Foxstarts they said that the croud was about 500! I don't see the race staying there for long with the loss thay'd be making. -- Aido > 2000 Honda Hornet S, For Sale. www.hondahornet.co.uk aidoATbigpondDOTnetDOTau
I really have no idea about the costs involved, but if I had to guess I don't think they (the Shieks) would care about losing money, they're getting international exposure and seemed very content walking amongst the riders on the grid. I think they put US$21 Million into it 12 months ago and thats how it turned out... overall thats pretty cheap for an international event! I think they'd have enough to keep that track running... I'm also pretty sure the gate costs were either non existant, or real cheap anyway. They would have to be to attract people into the desert ! The track looked pretty flat, just one big oval with track surface curved through it... wonder what the riders thought of it... I heard Rossi say its technical - is that politically correct for "a track with no character"? JasonBW
told ya I didnt know the figures... doesnt matter, 21 Mil stuck in my head from the motogp broadcast... Im more likely to have got it wrong than the broadcasters..US$85 M is a.lot of money in our eyes, but its kinda cheap for a complex like that still.... JasonBW
"The Losail Racetrack in Qatar is a brand new $58 million facility that only recently had its opening ceremony." That works out about AUS$80 milliion That seems quite cheap for the circuit.considering the cost for building the third runway for Sydney Airport was well over AUS$100 million.
