It will be the first time the powerful cars have competed on any city's streets, and the tremendous sounds the 1000-hp engines produce is something race fans will long remember!

The Can-Am era featured sleek creations from McLaren, Porsche, Lola, Shadow and more, with a list of famed drivers that included , Mark Donohue, Mario Andretti, , , Dan Gurney, , Bruce McLaren and John Surtees, among others. The Long Beach race will feature up to 20 cars from Can-Am's 1966-74 era and will be sanctioned by the Historic Motor Sports Association (HMSA). “HMSA is thrilled to be part of the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach, a truly iconic event with a rich motorsports tradition,” said Cris Vandagriff, president of the HMSA. “We are proud to bring the cars from what has been called the greatest series ever created, the original Can-Am. These cars were the fastest racing cars of their day and still make the earth move when they take to the track.”
