The weather was perfect, so that can't be an excuse.
I was there on the Sunday of the World Challenge weekend back in May, and there was a bigger crowd there during the Canadian Nascar series race.

Might have been lighter on the front straight, but I have never seen it so packed at 2, 3 and 5 for IMSA. You could hardly find space for a chair at Moss. It took us 45 minutes to get out of Mosport yesterday. I camped both weekends and the IMSA crowd was much bigger than the Nascar weekend in May. We lined up on Thursday morning for spots at 8 am and there was a huge line with probably 400- 500 waiting to get in. Biggest crowd I have seen in a while. They even opened the Gate on the outside of 4 to let people out yesterday. However, Paddock looked a bit empty on race day without the transporters for Pilot and the LMP3s.
Pit walk line was so long, we turned around.
