Meant to ride on the coattails F1’s successful Netflix Series Drive to Survive, 100 Days to Indy just never seemed to have the same impact as Drive to Survive in terms of generating new fans, which sees between 5 and 6 million viewers per episode.
Our best guess is that almost all the weekly viewers were IndyCar’s existing hardcore fanbase.
