And as for F1 having a pretty healthy fanbase, again I'm not so sure. I'd say it's definitely more of an adult thing, especially club motorsport, which I would say may die out here eventually if more isn't done to promote it because of the commercialisation of the sport
Sport in school is largely about getting kids to take exercise together (with a nod to encouraging them to appreciate competition), the other sports you mention do this at a reasonable cost and I don't think there is any kind of Motorsport that is remotely comparable.
