Detroit Grand Prix moves back Downtown for 2023 - where it all began
Many remember Indy cars racing throughout the city from 1982 to 1991, the 1.7-mile route shares some of the same route, but with more turns.
DETROIT (FOX 2) - Tickets for this year's Detroit Grand Prix are now on sale.
The 2023 race will be the event's return to the city after decades of cars speeding onto Belle Isle. The entire course is 1.7 mile long that goes on Detroit's most famous roads and by some of the city's most iconic landmarks.
That includes a long and fast straightaway down Jefferson Avenue before reaching a wide hairpin turn where plenty of racing clashes are expected. The drivers will also go by the Spirit of Detroit statue and the Riverwalk.
"The Detroit Grand Prix began on the streets of the city in 1982 and for the first time since 1991, the event will be back Downtown this summer bringing excitement, energy, international attention and economic benefit to the city and its local businesses," said event President Michael Montri. "We want to capture that renewed enthusiasm and passion for the city and the Grand Prix with a new look and feel that will carry this event forward and down new roads."
