The entry ticket to the event is extremely expensive, $ 1500. That is why the grandstand is empty

[@zc9407]

it was $30 to $50 depending on location

It wasn’t even that much to drive my classic on the track during the weekend! Daily tickets were well under $100

[@dongrandmaster3787]

@@flashsgarage emails I received from organizers asked for that amount, that why I didn't I skipped the event.

The Ferrari in 1:33 is not a world championship car. in fact, it is a worst evolution of a fairly successful Ferrari F1 640 of 1989. When Prost criticized the car publicly, the so proud losers managing Ferrari then decided to sack him.
