Motorsport has many issues in this regard. It's very expensive and that's why certain percentage of people will always see it as a fun activity for rich people. It's anything but ecologic which means that certain percentage of people (and sponsors) will refuse it. For certain people it's not a sport at all due to no athletic performance. For another people it's too complicated to understand. And least but not last it requires certain interest in cars and technical stuff. All of that means that the pool of followers is tiny compared to football.
It is also objectively the most boring sport on earth where 99% of the game time nothing is happening.
