2024 Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix | May 31 – June 2, 2024
The Detroit Grand Prix has a storied history, beginning as a Formula One race on the streets of the Motor City in 1982, and then transitioning through various phases. After Formula One’s tenure from 1982-1988, the event welcomed the Championship Auto Racing Teams (CART) in 1989, marking the beginning of the IndyCar races on Detroit’s Street circuit until 1991. The Grand Prix then moved to Belle Isle Park, continuing with INDYCAR races through significant periods until 2001, and then again from 2007 after a brief hiatus, with Chevrolet becoming the title sponsor in 2012. The race returned to its original street circuit in downtown Detroit in 2023, reconnecting with its roots and enhancing the festival atmosphere around the high-speed action (Detroit Grand Prix).
The 2024 Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix presented by Lear promises three days of thrilling racing from May 31 to June 2.
