It wouldn't if you understood what Bedford is all about mate. Its a driving Arena not a circuit. So no Barriers, grandstands etc..

It makes it better for a much safer driving enviroment which enables both begineers and experts to learn and explore the limits of there car (and there own talents) as there less to hit!!!

The ONLY downside is the lack of spectating.

I bet if spectators were there it would crank the event insurance up tonnes, making it far more expensive than it is atm

The Ł5 tickets ONLY get you into the trackside suite mate. NOT really worth the trip in my opnion. You need a passenger pass to get over into the pits.

Sorry, just trying to stop you having a poo day

Totally agree with Porkie here, went last year and only was able to watch from the trackside suite, you're miles away from the track, and only able to watch a couple of bends or three. Not the best track for spectating, but as Porkie said, it wasn't built for that
