yes, they came. and because the cars were in the paddock instead of the pitlane i think it was really good for both the enthusiasts and casual fans.
granted, they didn't stay right till the very end (hungary was ridiculously wet, austria was a new wsr event tho the stands were still reasonably busy and ricard was awfully dark at the end), but they saw the cars and the racing.
you're right though. and generally i don't think spectator numbers are that important when you've got live tv if you're talking just plain old visibility to mr average. sad state of affairs, but painfully true, especially in a seriously global series like wec.
