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!

The BBC has longggggg since abandoned us motorsports fans. If it's not football or athletics then forget it. I know other broadcasters are able to pay mega bucks for tv rights but you only have to watch the sport segment of the news to know that the beeb dosnt give a toss about us
