With roots tracing back to Formula One races in 1982, the Grand Prix has become a staple in the Metro Detroit community. The Motor City knows how to host great races and this year’s event is no different as there will be exciting up-and-coming racers such as Josef Newgarden and Spencer Pigot.

Along with plenty of autograph session opportunities, this will also be the first year that all fans have access to the James Scott Memorial Fountain and the opportunity to join the winner circle after each race.
