According to Jake Lucky, all drivers trained for six months to be able to compete in the race — which was held at the Circuit de la Sarthe in Le Mans on October 8.
Over 40,000 showed up in live attendance, and the stream peaked at 1,041,828 viewers on Twitch. Formula 1 driver Charles Leclerc even tuned into the stream from Japan ahead of the Japanese Grand Prix.
The Grand Prix had its intense moments too, where even one YouTuber crashed— though thankfully nobody was hurt.
Following the event, Squeezie took to Twitter, where he thanked his fans for helping him create an unforgettable memory.
The YouTuber also thanks the other drivers, as well as the engineers, mechanics, and volunteer marshals for helping run the event.
