French streamer and internet personality Lucas ‘Squeezie’ Hauchard recently held GP Explorer 3 at the historic Le Mans circuit in France. The third edition of the series was its most-watched yet, breaking records in both watch time and peak concurrent viewers; Streams Charts breaks down the results of Squeezie’s GP Explorer 3.
The GP Explorer series is a race made up of content creators and celebrities driving Formula 4 cars. Billed as “The Last Race”, the GP Explorer 3 of the series came after a two-year wait, and fans were not left disappointed.
The action kicked off on Friday evening with a driver presentation and concert, however, these activities were not streamed, so our statistics represent sections of Saturday and Sunday’s activities — namely the sprint qualification and race, free practice, and the main race qualification, running, and podium.
In total, GP Explorer 3 received over 10.81M Hours Watched for its Saturday and Sunday streams, while maintaining over 550,000 Average Viewers. The third-edition of the series also brought broadcasting expansion for GP Explorer 3; this edition was broadcasted for almost double the length of the previous two editions, and also featured famous guest stars for the English broadcast.
A new addition to the series, GP Explorer 3 invited more creators outside of France to participate, and also was co-streamed by popular creators such as Ibai Llanos, Hasan “HasanAbi” Piker, and Imane “Pokimane” Anys. Other involved co-streamers spanned audiences such as German, Portuguese, and, naturally, French viewers.
In total, all of these expanded broadcasts culminated in a peak of 1.55M Peak Viewers for the GP Explorer 3. The majority of these viewers were still found on Squeezie’s own channel, but the new co-streaming across various untapped audiences helped the third edition to reach new heights.
Compared to previous editions of the GP Explorer, the third race was a massive success, setting new watch time and peak viewership records. GP Explorer 3 actually received slightly fewer Average Viewers than the second edition, however, it was also broadcast for over seven hours longer.
In spite of the broadcasting time expansion, almost double as long as the original GP Explorer, the third edition managed to maintain its strong viewership the entire time.
What was dubbed as “The Final Race” certainly was a fitting final hurrah for the series. Over the years, GP Explorer has delighted hundreds of thousands of French viewers, and the most recent edition showed its global appeal, too. Whether Squeezie will host another GP Explorer or move onto a new idea is still up in the air, however, whatever happens, livestreaming fans will be excitedly waiting for his next plan.
