I am possibly in a minority of one but I don't judge any sport's appeal by the sole metric of its TV coverage. I actually far preferred F1 with less than saturation TV coverage (and its consequent hysterical fandom ) because back in the day I could go and see two or three F1 races in UK , at affordable prices and wander around the paddock as I wished .

I don't especially enjoy TV motor sport and am amazed so many people do. Being spoon-fed 2D images which the director has decided I should see and being told what I am seeing by some over adrenalised commentator does not good entertainment make.
