Question / Discussion Sports Personality of the Year

Its a shame the BTCC gets no mention at all in the BBC's sporting round up of the year, Formula 1 is a given, but they even gave a mention to Formula-bloody-E.

They must really resent ITV having unilateral rights over the sport to bypass it completely.

I know the Championship isn't mainstream enough for the protagonists to be in the running for the main award, but it's a shame it gets no mention whatsoever, given its following. And I would argue that WSR's achievements were worthy of being in the running for Team of the Year!

I mean it is just a national championship mainly made up of pay drivers. Its predominantly its past history which makes it popular now more than anything.

And if they did mention the BTCC then what about British GT and Super One Karting let alone other World Championships like WEC where british teams and drivers have won.
