As a reference, F1 annual 'unique' global audience is 390 million people, and the total annual viewers in just their top-20 markets is 1.4 billion. Compare that to IndyCar's annual global audience of around 25 million. Hence why F1 is flush with money and IndyCar isn't. It's the TV viewership stupid and the number of viewers NBCSN delivers for IndyCar are enough to make one cry.
