It's where guys like Mixer might want to check their opinion on what makes up a "real" national championship, particularly when he takes a crap on TCR Australia.
Ok, supercars has a 12 meeting series. But C7, and 10 before that, are effectively saying it's only worth 6. That includes Bathurst, which shouldn't be in the championship anyway.
If a 10 (or 8) round series was offered (Something normal), then a fta channel might happily cover the whole series including the "crap" meetings. But as it is, they cherry pick what they see are the "good ones".
edit; The current deal includes two Bathurst meetings. So commercially, supercars is only worth 4 non Bathurst meetings!
