Does the average person watch a particular motorsport for the teams/cars or do they watch because they like a particular driver?
TCR might not be a threat at the moment but as more and more drivers struggle to get a BTCC budget who knows what might happen.
I'd be very, very surprised if he's as dismissive of TCR as you seem to think.
I'd dispute the figures of millions watching as well unless you're counting the same people over and over for each race. I know in the media package they quote millions but it's an odd way they get to that figure if you look at the notes. To me it's more like 300k watching which is still a cracking figure.
