From the article:

"I was at Le Mans once, with the head of Real Racing 3's studio and on Sunday at 9am, he had his data [on the game] out on his phone," Cox explained.

"There were three million people playing his game at that moment – and it was a Le Mans download. Suddenly more people are gaming than watching the real race – and no one talks about it."

Quite funny. Le Mans is so popular because it's the #1 farming track. If fame was a bit more balanced, a different picture would be told. Similar for Formula E, nobody drives those POS, except if there is a carrot in play (such as last time trial).
