I agree that there are people enough to make tickets sell out and fill up grandstands in spite of the very high prices. But I'm not sure it can happen in two rounds. Who's really interested on the sport will for sure travel to São Paulo to watch SP Indy 300 no matter where he or she comes from. The rest won't be attending even if the event is being accomplished on the next square.

Believe in me, there are not many motorsport fans here. And the ones that exist are already going to watch the São Paulo race. And only a very little percentage can afford two races. And having to choose between SP and any other venue, most of the people will go for the first one.
