One of the biggest problems, much, much, much bigger than the crissis is the spanish autorsport federation (or federations because there are too many). Portugal crissis was the same of us or even bigger and they keep a decent motorsport activity.
We have an HUGE sport structural problem in Spain, in most of the countries the championship and race organizations usually comes from autoclubs (people who really loves races). In Spain everything is controled by regional or national motorsport federations, and those federations are controled by politicians or something close to a politician (and you know what happends with politicians...).
Now you know why spanish autosport has been collapsed.
On motorcycling things are VERY different, there are federations (they works harder than the autosport ones) but there also motorcycling clubs and big private organizations like DORNA.
