It coudnt have been? Sure it could, just because there are no photographs of spectators around the track (the photographs I posted obviously werent meaning to show the crowd anyway but the cars) does not mean there were not lots of spectators. The vast majority of the time you dont see big shots of spectators in any series, yes the series doesent get crowd sizes of that of F1, Moto GP or Champ Car but I would say its probably on a par with FIA GT, FIA WTCC and WSBR.
The WTCC only gets crowd sizes of 25,000-50,000 on a regular basis and that is a pretty big popular series and one that people know. Why then are people suprised that A1 doesent get huge crowds when other big series like the WTCC and WSBR doesent either? As for the WSBR the main reason they get the ammount of spectators they do get is because they give away so many free tickets, how many thousand for each event? Id not be suprised to hear that the series gets more people attending with free tickets than people who are actually paying!
