Of course, every survey is only as good as it's participants. IMHO, those people who log onto a motorsport forum will have a varied view on motorsport. Those people who watch the BTCC on the TV and go to one round a season aren't likely to be online. Take this same survey at a BTCC round and it might wield different results.

One thing that we're seeing in this thread is there a lot of people who will go to a BTCC round, because it's on at their local circuit, and because it's a racing event. Not "Club Racing only", but probably not enough to say both either. Makes Mike's comment sound exactly right - get involved in motorsport via watching BTCC, then find other series and watch them more.
