Apparently, crowd numbers have been pretty awful. I wonder why that is - it's a beautiful venue, a great track, and despite being narrow, it usually provides a great racing spectacle. It doesn't make sense to me how a track like this could be dropped, but a snorefest like the Hungaroring or Valencia is packed and kept on the calendar!

crowd numbers means nothing....as long as the venue can fork up the $$$ to FOM (cough....Bernie....) the event can have empty stands and keep running for years....
nice tracks like Silverstone, Spa, Suzuka, Interlagos, Montreal are constantly being threatened to be dropped out of the F1 calender by FOM because of the facility or contract $$$ amount.....
