It has nothing to do with the size, scale, quantity, geographical dispersion, or any other characteristic of the spectators.

If your sport is classified as Elite, then you are not allowed spectators until Phase 5. BTCC is classified as Elite - I can't imagine how the situation could be expressed any more clearly.
May not have been elite events, but the exact same venue and facilities. Only difference, the number of spectators and the fact that they will be travelling from more areas and hence a higher risk of contamination.
The govt. even has page on it.
