Sorry but what a load of shit!
The majority of the country is working class, which by natural logic says that the majority of sports fans of any sport, be it F1, Rally, BTCC, cricket, tennis, etc are working class.
It's not like it's a "cheap" sport either - you can go to the Silverstone Grand Prix for the same price, if not less than a footy game (I am not a footy fan, but some of the guys are, so I only know what premiership games cost like Man U games or Spurs, Arsenal etc, no idea what the crapper teams games cost mind) - same with Cricket at Lords, or tennis at Wimbledon, or Rugby at Twickenham....
So using the "escuse" of being working class is bollocks. And how is it an excuse anyway? "ooh, look at them fighting - discgracefull" "Don't worry, they are working class" "oh, thats okay then"
