There are other official World championships of course (WTCC, WSBK, WRX) but they're of a level below the above (i.e. GT cars are basically souped up touring cars if you ask me).”

I'm of the opinion only NASCAR in North America is a genuine rival, maybe MotoGP to an extent. I see F1's rivals more as Premier League Football, the Olympic Games etc. The media interest in F1 is on a completely different level to WEC, WRC etc.
