"Detroit Grand Prix promises to be a bigger and louder spectacle in 2023."

Roger Penske believes that the reimagined Chevrolet Detroit GP is his greatest gift to the Motor City, and it's bigger than the Super Bowl from an impact within the city. The race course has been moved to a new nine-turn, 1.7-mile downtown layout that will be the centerpiece of an event weekend that is designed to promote a festival and community atmosphere. The race easily could handle a crowd of at least 50,000 daily and probably tens of thousands more in a sprawling track footprint along the city’s riverwalk.
