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.

fact is that nobody watches any other national (four wheel) racing series in any numbers in the uk other than btcc. doesnt matter what it is and doesnt matter what car it is. many series have come and go to try and get a big folllowing and theyve all failed big time. its like australia. nobody watches anything than the supercars series because they are the big established series with big tv and spectator numbers.
