Supervisor Polyphony digital Kazunori Yamauchi at the GT Sport FIA Online Championship in Sydney announced that during 2019 for competitions in Gran turismo sport 47.2 million people watched.
At the same time, the overwhelming majority of viewers are on Facebook (27.9 million people; 59%) and YouTube (11.7 million people; 24.8%). The remaining 16.2% share other sites.
A year earlier, only 15.9 million people watched the championships, which is almost three times lower than in 2019. True, it is worth noting the doubled amount of content – from 719 to 1,544 videos.
It is noted that the overall engagement of the audience – discussions, likes, retweets – increased by 300%.
The number of live viewers also increased: if the final race in November 2018 was watched by about 4 million people, then the victory of the German rider Mikhail Hizal in Monaco was followed by 11.6 million people. The absolute record for Gran Turismo.
Recall that a victory in the GT Sport FIA Online Championship is equal in importance to a victory in any other official championships of the International Automobile Federation (FIA).
