I wonder how they do calculate values like that...
That's what you quote when people start saying manufacturers should go to the IRC. I have no idea what a cumulative spectator is. But that's a massive gulf between the two series.Quote:

Edit: both numbers are very *** though. F1 gets 100.000.000 for one grandprix, so that's tens of millions per hour on average.
its true you can read statistics in many ways, what do you mean by numbers that can only be guessed? Not so sure eurosport in huge economic problems see 75000 as a very good figure.Quote:
