I travel quite a lot for work/business. Currently sat in a sports bar in Doha. There are exactly 21 TV screens from my current seating position, probably 50+ in the bar. Not a single one is showing sport that involves a vehicle of any kind. No cars, no bikes, nothing.

Have we got to the point where motor racing of any kind is irrelevant to most people? Even in hotels with dozens of sports channels finding a race is almost impossible.

I'm hoping that there is still plenty of racing going on. In fact surely it's more socially distanced than any of the football games going on at the moment.

In fact I've had to resort YouTube and Sim Racing coverage to get my motorsport fix.

Honestly, at this point anything. Touring cars, Moto GP, formula e would even help. Replays, reruns, virtual. Heck is even give some NASCAR a go.

Was more a comment on the general perception and lack of enthusiasm for Motorsport from people. Has it become a niche hobby?
