Not enough people are interested which is the sad reality.

They ran with a BTCC cover, and the circulation dropped quite significantly. They are a business, not a charity. However, they do concentrate on F1 to the detriment of the other series - whereas once all got a decent spice of the pie.
They are only reflecting what the general public/ media think; Motorsport = F1. Not helped by F1 and BTCC being the only live Motorsport on terrestrial TV.

Autosport certainly did sell itself to F1. The "Special Stage" section has long gone. But the online version is just about ok.

WRC Promoter confirms UK fans will be able to watch the 2015 WRC season on both BT Sport & ITV4 ... :D
