It's tough enough to get manufacturer support for clubs without event organisers attempting to tax for the privilege.
You may want to liaise with S2Ki UK as they normally have HUK support for this event too and may be suffering a similar obstruction.

Hi Mike, I totaly agree with James. We need to point out the following.
1) There is no Honda personnel presence, only NSXCB members.
2) There is no Honda literature or any Honda merchandise for sale.
3) This is the only contribution Honda give NSXCB (They do not give the club any money) in return for us giving them our cars when they have need for an NSX or two.
IMO they are just trying it on (or another club has got a bit jealous) . The event is really a two way street thing, they are providing the location and staffing but we are providing one of the main attractions (yet we still have to pay!) and now they want more money! Talk about want their cake and it. With car sales down again across Europe we are lucky they give us anything at all.
