Luca Di Montezemolo has slammed Grand Prix racing as too expensive for fans. The Ferrari boss claimed a day at the races can cost more than an aroundthe-world flight. And he said F1 focused on television exposure and forgot about fans and the value of the internet at its peril. "You want a right balance for the people in front of the television and the people at the circuit," said Di Monezemolo (right).
"For me, for Ferrari, the circuits are crucial.
Iwant to see spectators, I want to see passion, I want to see flags.
So it is a question of finding balance in terms of price. "We have to be careful because with the low fares on aeroplanes you can do a tour of the world with less money than a weekend at the circuit." Circuit bosses say they are forced to charge high prices because they are squeezed so tightly by F1 promoter Bernie Ecclestone.

ReplyDeleteQuality service, products , conveniences , security ,etc.You cannot cheat fans of quality. During the big event,general mass excitement may cover up inferiority , but after all is said and done,they'll feel cheated. Many event organizers cheat customers,having no regard for return business. You take pride in long term commitment
and give fans a lifetime of satisfaction.
