FCS 0-60 all day?
- Thread starter midge
- Start date
I'd maybe pay £7.50 for a minimum of 5 runs but would defo for all day, that seems very steep for just the 1
182cup & 172 racecar
£7.50 is a complete ripp off and nobody should do it(I dont know how much these places usually charge)but sound bl--dy expensive,thats more than £1.00 per second,unless your Baldlocks of course
R35 GTR
When you put it like that. £1.50 a second for me.lol.
I will do a 0-60 in 1 hour as a protest.

Tungy

To run the sprint track the cost break down is:-
£2500+vat for timing with digital boards and print outs
£300+vat for staff
£700+vat Public liability insurance
£100+vat tickets and mailing
=====
£3600
vat - £630.00
=====
Grand total - £4,230.00 / £7.50 (cost per run) = 564 runs over 6 hours. Or £6.33 per run when buying three.
This DOES NOT take into account the additonal costs to use that section of the venue.
FCS is simply charging what many other events charge for the past 7-8 years.
All aspects of the show have to be funded somehow. Places like the Pod have equipment installed thay dosn't cost an arm and a leg to hire.
I would love to do it cheaper but FCS has to pay its bills and the sprint track usually runs at a loss.

As the show is club based, we try to offer the best value we can and this is reflected in the price remaining at £10 between 2001-6 and a modest increase for 2007 with a first class venue and loads of attractions.

I hope it goes well this year, i mean it. Last year was not brilliant, so if this year is a screw up there is no way I would try for third time lucky.
figures sorted.
FCS rapidly out grew Brunts thats the problem of 2006 plus the showground was water logged and we changed it about the night before so all signs were binned. It pissed down for days including the saturday so we won't be back at an airfield. Many people didn't realise the show was about cancelled.
Figure amended - cheers
It may well cost 16-17p a second for the gear to be on site with staff, insurance etc but the track cannot operate 100% capacity due to change overs etc

Sorry, could'nt resist
I can be a real pedant sometimes
Actually PMSL at how we're now discussing cost per second!!
Okay here goes.
I have reviewed the costs and doen the following:-
1 - Removed the shipping charges from sprint tickets
2 - Added a coupon code - cliosport which knocks £2.00 off a single use sprint ticket now costing £5 for the next 7 days.
Best I can do folks.
Repeat coupon code is - cliosport

ditto
last year it was £20 on a disused airfield. This year its down the pit straight of a 78 million pound venue so the costs have gone up moderately and still will never cover the cost of actually running it.
£16 for three runs is not expensive for a car show.
They are selling so the balance is right.

realistically we should run about 300 - 400 runs all being well.
We have to be careful not to over sell it due to queues

There are no all day passes this year so far. Its only running for 5 hours or so and we'd get complaints about how many runs people didn't get.
I wouldn't imagine people want to spend hours just circulating the sprint track when there is so many attractions.
It is possible to add an all day pass maybe for say £25 but people would have to accept its not quite got the same access and turn over as 2006. What do you think?
