Goodwood Revival is probably the largest gate for 4 wheel events after the GP.

Quoted crowd figures for FIA WEC at Silverstone in recent years have varied quite wildly between 20k and 40k spectators over the weekend.

I imagine the festival and revival are pretty high and there were 50,000 for the finale of the btcc at brands a few years back, or so they announced on the day.
Edit: fat finger. Shouldn't make btcc look more popular than it deserves.

It's pointless to attempt to compare rallying with motorsport on closed venues. Even today no one can really tell the crowd figures, despite the attempts to charge everyone now. Estimated figures for the RAC Rally in the days when it covered a lot of the country for free would make it by far the largest attendance at any single event of any kind, leave alone just sport or just motorsport, and are probably only equalled (maybe) now by Le Tour en Angleterre.
