"Sorry to all those who could not get one, we added 20,000 compared to last year but we could not more under penalty that it becomes unmanageable on the spot ...", he added.

Won by Sylvain Lévy (of the automotive youtuber duo Vilebrequin), the first edition of the race between 22 creators of digital content on Formula 4 had gathered nearly 40,000 spectators on the prestigious Sarthe circuit in October.
Broadcast live on the Twitch platform, the event had also recorded a record audience "historic in France" and was followed by more than a million people, according to the Automobile Club de l'Ouest (ACO), which organizes the races on the Le Mans circuit.
An audience almost similar to that of the Formula 1 GP France, which had gathered 1.69 million viewers on average in July on Canal +.
Like the real football match France-Spain between "streamers", internet stars who share and comment on their games live now organize their own sports competitions between content creators, capturing an audience worthy of the big traditional competitions.
