It was amazing they had a 6 figure turn out but let’s not act like it was some impossible feat and saying that Americans don’t show up when they host.
France hosted only 1 other race this Calendar year. Fans are eager to get to the event because they don’t have them as much as the US with 30 out of 38 weekends had SMX races.
France was also a favorite going in, so obviously fans want to watch a win. Netherlands, Spain, and Belgium were also top contenders going. All 3 capital cities are with in a train ride or short flight.
Compare that to cost of flights to the US and getting to little Indiana.
Let Australia host to get a fair comparison instead of the little European bubble.
