Certain championships deemed to be of a high stature, offer something different or have a limited base to attract competitors. I believe these are the reasons why the BTCC and T Cars escape attention from the MSA commitee, although I'd argue that the latter example fits none of these given the other comparable series. That said I'd also imagine that regional championships should also be given more leniency under these criteria which would appear not to be the case given the Scottish Mini scenario (although with more rounds out of Scotland than in it - can it really be considered regional in the truest sense of the word?).

With regard to the commitee being corrupt on account of Alan Gow being in charge of the MSA, whilst it is true that the BTCC has escaped any censure for last year (average grids approximately 14), the BTCC did not face penalties in the years preceeding Alan Gow's MSA appointment despite having equally poor grids, so at least there is some consistency in the decision making process.
