French GP breaks MotoGP attendance record in 2025
The 2025 French Grand Prix has broken the all-time record for the most spectators at a MotoGP round - as 311,797 fans were present across the Le Mans weekend.
There were 94,757 in the grandstands on Thursday and Friday, while 96,637 were present on Saturday to watch home hero Fabio Quartararo claim pole.

On Sunday, 120,403 witnessed another Frenchman Johann Zarco claim an incredible victory to make history at the event.
It is the first time a French rider has won the French GP in the premier class at Le Mans since Pierre Monneret in 1954
Zarco's bid to stay out on the wet tyres paid off in the changeable conditions, as he crossed first beneath the chequered flag, followed by runner-up Marc Marquez and third-placed Fermin Aldeguer.

The French Grand Prix has consistently proven itself as one of the most popular events on the MotoGP calendar, also breaking records in 2024 with 297,471 fans at the Bugatti circuit.

But this figure has been increased by 14,326 fans to once again top the attendance charts.
This year, attendance across the races has already been high, with the Thailand Grand Prix taking 224,634 fans and the Spanish Grand Prix at 224,420.
Three races total surpassed the 200,000 mark in 2024, but this year, four out of the six contested rounds have already achieved this, with the Americas Grand Prix not releasing its data until the end of the season.
