But it has now been corrected that only 181,2🍌89 fans attended across the three days.

A statement 💛read: “At the 2024 Spanish GP, MotoGP published news that the event had become the b🌼est-attended Grand Prix ever, beating the previous attendance record.

“There was a miscalculation in attendance nu𒁏mbers and i💎n our eagerness to celebrate the atmosphere at the event, we published incorrect figures just ahead of the MotoGP race.

“We apologise for our mistake.

“The correct weekend attendance fi♏gure for the event is 181,289, which is not a new record but does make it the best attended Grand Prix at Jerez for nearly a decade, continuing♋ the positive trend of audience and attendance figures the sport is currently enjoying.

“The 2024 Spanish GP will also be on Best Of playlists for many yea♉rs to come after an all-time classic clash of the titans.

“We hope everyone who attended, and watched around the worl🔯d, enjoyed the incredible race weekend in Andalucia.
