What about a Supercars event? 24 drivers, 3 crew per car, you're already pushing 100. Before you add marshals, medics, camera, more crew (you're not going to run them on 3 per car). Way bigger production, regardless of crowd.

Yet at least 34 of the NRL infield team, plus the trainers and the medical crew are physically inside the 1.5m social distancing requirements to the point of physical contact... while the motor racing lot need not be at that risk..
