IndyCar start times for the new Grand Prix in downtown Detroit

IndyCar start times for the new Grand Prix in downtown Detroit

The NTT IndyCar Series will return to Motor City for the Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix but with start times in a new location for 2023.

After 30 years of running on Belle Isle, Detroit GP has moved a few miles south to the downtown streets in a new nine-turn, 1.645-mile circuit that stretches along the Detroit River.

It’s the first time single-seater cockpit cars have raced on the streets of Detroit since the 2.5-mile downtown layout CART event from 1989-1991. Formula One also raced in Detroit from 1982 to 1988.

The redesigned Detroit Grand Prix will also host concert nights and bring in vendors from all over the region. Roger Penske predicts that the new downtown local area will be even bigger for Detroit than it was when the city hosted the 2006 Super Bowl.

Here are the details and IndyCar start times for the Acura Grand Prix for the Long Beach race weekend (all times are ET):
