The cost to run it may be high, but the price to watch is crazy. $400 just to get a spot that you can see a small part of the race, and that's if you're camping on the grounds. 1500 euro for an actually seat, and the good seats cost upwards of 3000+ euro. I was going to go next week in Hockenheimring, I missed Nurnberg this weekend, but the cost, and advance tickets (about a year) are too much. Monoco is even more ridiculous, since you have to practically own a house in the town on the track to see the race.
