IndyCar: Toronto IndyCar race attendance

The Toronto Star newspaper reports that this past weekend’s Honda sponsored IndyCar race around Exhibition place in Toronto, Canada drew 50,000 spectators over the 3-day weekend. Sunday’s grandstands were sold out, but there were not many grandstand seats compared to the CART years.

Friday was a free day, so factor that into your analysis.

50,000 compares to 3-day numbers of 400,000 for the COTA F1 race and 243,000 for the Miami F1 race, both with ticket prices well in excess of $1,000.
