The organiser provides accommodation and help with the shipping for the top UK road teams I believe. Stobart Honda ( next year Kawasaki's WSB factory team) are based in my home town and they go out every year, pretty sure they get an invite and some financial incentives to go, its also an end of season party for the team.

Like Michael I'd say there's some big £££ being thrown at them to go

Just watched the race on Motors TV.
Stuart Easton never made a mistake.
Well done.
