The govt. even has page on it.

It makes no difference what venue or facility they were held at. As has been repeated, and you seem to not be taking on board, the number of spectators and their travel arrangements also makes no difference.

Yes - you have linked the guidance produced for a return to spectators at Elite Sports. It should also be read with this govt. page - https://www.gov.uk/government/news/p...-sports-events

Which makes it clear:
'The Government has announced that a small number of sporting events will be used to pilot the safe return of spectators through late July and early August – with a view to reopen competition venues for sports fans, with social distancing measures in place, from October 2020. [...]
There are also likely to be further pilot events for other sports, in order to build up to and prepare for the full, socially distanced return of sporting events from 1 October 2020.'

So until either:
A) BTCC is re-classified as not being Elite.
B) A BTCC event is selected as a pilot.
C) 1st October arrives.

Then they are not allowed to have a crowd of one spectator who lives 5 metres from the venue entrance.

No matter how much BTCC is compared to other non-elite sports, whether motorsport or otherwise, the fact remains that spectators are not permitted to attend.
