Why no spectators at donny?

Why is it the general public aren't allowed to watch the cars/bikes driving round the track at donington? Surely it wouldn't take much for them to open one of the stands, but they seem to go to great efforts to make it impossible for anyone to see.

I think if people could watch it would attract even bigger crowds. I know my mum and sister would have enjoyed watching that even though they couldn't care less how a car works!

the public liability insurance is the responsibilty of the organiser. if there are people spectating motor vehicle events the cost is a lot higer

You can watch the cars. Both from the stands or the pits.

It's the bikes that for some reason they don't want people seeing.

Oh right, I didn't realise you could watch the cars on the saturday, I'll remember to check that next year!

I was there on Sunday and could hear the bikes but couldn't see them, fair enough if it was a race.
