Around a million people watch GP2 on ITV - that's not as many as watch F1, or British Touring Cars, but it is more than watch WRC.
F3000 was shown on terrestrial TV in around half a dozen countries in its latter years, including the UK, Italy, Austria and Sweden - all as part of F1 deals.
Most F1 deals will include a clause which says the channel is to show a certain number of minutes of any other championships Bernie wants them to, although the exact coverage of those championships will be governed by a separate contract.
That explains why ITV has variously shown F3000, ITC, FIA Sportscars, FIA GT, Porsche Supercup and FIA Truck Racing since they took over F1.
