A large number of the current viewers seem to be based on the legacy of previous iterations of open wheel racing, possibly even grandfathers, are the current viewers all older viewers who had open wheel racing ingrained in their DNA while racing viewership was still "socialist" before commercialization, ridiculous entry fees and everyone being milked by pay TV?
