While the ratings might be respectable from a motorsports point of view, they weren't from a general perspective.
The season finale was watched by 350.000 people, the races always got around 3,5-4% market share, Kabel 1 is used to about 7% in that timeslot.
Every rerun of a sitcom or whatnot in that timeslot would have gotten better ratings for Kabel1 with much less cost and effort attached compared to a live sports broadcast.
That's why I think they keep showing the races as long as someone pays the bill, the ratings itself aren't good enough to justify the effort, especially since it's no sports station but rather a normal entertainment channel.
