300,000+ people attended the Surgers Paradise weekend.

How many attended the Brazil GP?

So, does F1 deliver the value for the money?

In the case of sponsorship, does F1 sponsorship represent a good value, when 300,000 people over a race weekend can see your sponsorship--for a lot less money?

Assuming 360,000 people attended the Brazil GP (pure speculation, no basis in fact), is sponsoring an F1 team at how many multiples more than LeMans, V8's, NASCAR, IRL, ChampCar, etc.) really a good value for the sponsorship dollar?

Also, with F1 racing in so many second tier sites, doesn't the value proposition of sponsorship of race series that run in first tier sites have a greater value for sponsorship?

I would venture that the value of ChampCar (primary racing in first tier markets--Australia, Canada, Europe and USA) sponsorship is greater than F1--(Bahrain, Malaysia, China, India--next year, Brazil and Europe). F1 is in first and second tier markets, ChampCar is in first tier markets. Follow the money...

Last race of the season. No open wheel competition to sepak of. Watching Justine Wilson?
