        I updated the entry fee and the helmet rental fee as per the organizer pricing scheme.

          400 is quite expensive. They are making good money out of it.

              They were always making money out of it. 45 cars @ 400 dhs each is AED 18,000.

              I don't believe they are paying AED 18,000 to the autodrome.

                Hi Hassan,
                I came across this comment and thought back and forth on whether or not to bother with a long and boring response but I thought I should because it is kinda irritating when we get grilled for a whole weekend to put a great event together and then see such feedback which is neither constructive nor useful except the fact that it just leaves a negative vibe to an otherwise one of the only fun events that motor heads get in a place where getting involved in competitive and fun motorsport is very expensive.

                First off, not really sure what point you are trying to make with the rates, and not that I have to share any details with you, but you must remember that on top of the rates we pay to DA to hire a track (which have increased this season, for full circuit and for any part of the circuit), there are Marshal fees that are not provided by DA (those are the people who run to pick the cones up after they get knocked down on an average of 20-30 times in an event), fees of the beverages which we provide on a day enough to accommodate drivers and all of their guests, the fees we pay to make fancy(ish) trophies, stickers so we can read the timing, facebook ads to advertise each event, photographers in some cases so that participants can get some nice pictures of their cars, which we use for spreading the word about an event that is considered a grass root motorsport, and has massively grown in the last couple of years where we made a loss on almost every event because we only had 20-25 cars on a run.

                After everyone leaves the event, we spend an hour collecting empty cans of water, Pepsi and juice along with the paid marshals because nobody cared to even put that in a trash can we provided, removing all cones etc to give the place back to DA in the same condition received.

                Then comes the part of paying DA or YAS the price of helmets that some drivers did not even have the courtesy of returning, and you might want to check with either DA or YAS on the price of a lost helmet, you will understand how expensive they may be.

                After all of these effort that kill 8-9 weekends of 5 organizers in a racing season, and once we see we have made some profit, we throw in a track day to everybody at half of the rates you would pay to DA or YAS at the end of the season ( we cover the other half from whatever profit made, I remember we gave a YAS track day at 350 and a DA track day at 450), yet we still get a comment such as yours that we are "always" making money out of it at 350 AED because you assumed that we simply pay DA, get everyone together to pay us money and just run an event as simple as that and go back home with a bag full of cash!

                I don't really appreciate you throwing around random figures online when you don't really know the costs involved in running such a similar event, if you do know of another similar type of motorsport event in the UAE where you can get 5-6 laps (plus top 10 runs when time allows) around a good circuit, for less money, then by all means, please join it and have fun, from my knowledge though, the UAE autocross championship may be a similar kind of event, but it's never been run on anything bigger than a car park area, costs more than Evolve Fun Runs and there are race license fees involved, not to mention you wont get more than 3 runs.

                I would highly appreciate that if you have any constructive feedback or a suggestion that you believe could benefit everyone, please inbox it to me, otherwise, please try to stay way from throwing figures online as this is the kind of thing that kills such events.

                Thank you.

                  You are absolutely correct. Your response is emotional and boring.

                    Thank you again for another absolutely useless response.

                      Indeed. It was as useless as yours. But at least it was shorter.

                        As useless as your driving and times have been in every event :)
                        Enjoy your day.

                          Slightly more useless than my driving and times for sure :)

                          Why didn't you put my name on the list?

                            As simple as that fact that your not welcome with this sort of attitude. I'm sure there are cheaper events to join. We both know it isn't your first time leaving Negative and non constructive feedback so obviously you should not be interested to join.

                            We have a long reserve list of drivers who are genuinely interested to join and have fun.

                              It takes a lot of courage to accept the truth. You may consider my comments negative or non constructive, but they are true. As for history, bring it forward and we can discuss it. Just don't throw baseless claims.

                              You need to grow up sweetheart.
