As an example this release or another version of it went as I understand, to all significant newspapers and radio news services. How many of you have seen it printed or reported?

Nope, hadn't seen that.
It might be a little bit soon but how about a dedicated motorsport option in one of the online TV platforms like Lightbox? Or a very cheap subscriber platform like Premier League Pass (which isn't all that cheap but you are getting one of the richest sports on the planet) - if you could get the rights to F1, Sports Cars, WRC, V8SC, SBK & Moto GP (all both live and delayed) plus then have space for any local motorsport event to have its content there for free, then charge subscribers a nominal monthly fee which means you don't have to put up with all Sky's bullsh*t I'm sure you could make it work...
It would depend on having a computer or smart TV (which are great) and also the cost would depend on how much the rights were for those things. I expect F1 & WRC would not be cheap, probably not V8SC either but it's the way of the future.
