But it is the only one in the country - imagine as a F1 fan you have flown from say LA to FLA to watch it and then get this. $$$ in airfare and hotels as well as the $85 for a ticket.
Most Europeans go to their country race, a far shorter distance.
I assume the other reason the M teams did not race was driver insurance, car not safe as tyres not save = no driver insurance = hideous cost if driver dies as result of tyre burst.
