First race was in 1911. 1917-18,1942-45 weren’t held due to the world wars. Hence today is the 100th running.

3 to 400,000
That's a pretty large spread. I would figure they'd have a closer estimate than that.
I believe 400,000 might push capacity, but 3 sounds like it would be very lonely there.

Did anyone catch the info piece where they were doing a comparison on how much space is covered by the race? They referred to the forecourt of the Vatican as “St. Petersburg Square”.
Uhhhh....ABC/ESPN...got a word for you...”proofread”...as in proofread the scrip[t before you record it and flash your ignorance for the entire country to see and hear.
Thank you. We now return you to your race.

Before television I couldn’t wait to listen to this race. I had my pad and pencil ready to record positions and listened for the entire race. I haven’t watched in some time. When and why did all the cars become the same? To me, it makes for a pretty boring race.
