F1: 419,000 attend Australian GP

With ticket prices over $1,000 each, the Formula 1 Heineken Australian Grand Prix 2022 has recorded an estimated attendance of 419,114 over the four days, eclipsing the previous record of 401,000 set at Melbourne’s first event in 1996.

Today’s announcement comes after Sunday saw an estimated attendance of 128,294, that followed estimated attendances of 123,247 on Saturday, 112,446 on Friday and 55,107 on Thursday.

The total estimated attendances of both Friday and Saturday are the highest day two and day three numbers since the first Melbourne race in 1996, while Sunday’s estimated attendance is the third-highest race day number over that time.
