It's no secret that France is home to some of the most die-hard motorsports enthusiasts in the world. Indeed, with a circuit as iconic as the historic Le Mans circuit, this comes as no surprise. During the recently concluded Shark Grand Prix de France, more than a quarter-million spectators flocked to the Le Mans circuit to watch high-adrenaline MotoGP action firsthand.
Indeed, in 2022, the French GP registered the best attendance of the season, as Frenchman Fabio Quartararo defended his championship title. This year, even without a Frenchman on top, the Shark Grand Prix de France saw a total of 278,805 fans in attendance, setting a new record in MotoGP, as the best-attended event in the history of the sport.
