In both cases the BTCC has a much higher profile and quite easy to see why it would be classified as Elite and be treated differently.
Why is there a thinking that TV coverage and spectator numbers is part of the decision for being an elite sport?

There are sports that have next to zero TV coverage in the UK, and have spectator figures in the hundreds that are 'elite' sports.
