Default ok,whats your opinions on this.

as some of you will know ive baught one of M-sports focus wrc simulators,
we are thinking of taking it to the ford spares show at donnington and chargeing a small price say £2-3 a go and the fastest time of the day wins say £50-100,now bearing in mind it wont be cheap to get it there and run it for the day who would have a go?

Every show I've been to and seen one of these they're always rammed full of people having a go.

£2 doesn't hurt especially with a chance of winning a bit of cash.

Go for it I say, chances are you'll get a few groups at a time going on as mates wanna race mates etc.

But it might be an Idea to have a word with the organisers see if you can get a prime position for it.

For £2, I don't reckon any less people will have a go

Try the prize first time round though, you may get people having quite a few goes at the start / end of the day when it's quieter, trying to win the prize! If this is the case, it could pay for itself! Does look great fun!!

And get slaughtered for putting the price up for whatever reason,
Cheap price (£2) - Big queues = People get fed up of waiting and you on your toes for the length of the day
Increased price (£5) - Less queues = Steady stream of custom giving you enough time to have 5 mins to yourself now and then
