2017 EVENT GUIDE

JUNE 2–4, 2017

DETROITGP.COM / 866.464.PRIX GRAND PRIX FANS

We welcome you to Belle Isle Park and we’re excited to host you at the Detroit Grand Prix presented by Lear. It promises to be an action-packed weekend on the race track as we welcome back the Verizon IndyCar Series, the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, the Trans Am Series presented by Pirelli and the SPEED Energy Stadium SUPER Trucks (SST). Detroit is once again the only city to host a Verizon IndyCar Series doubleheader weekend in the Chevrolet Dual in Detroit. It truly gives our event and our area a unique platform as the only weekend to feature back-to-back days of full points races broadcast live on network television across the nation on ABC and all over the world on Saturday and Sunday. With the exotic sports cars of the IMSA WeatherTech Series hosting the Chevrolet Sports Car Classic on Saturday, the Detroit muscle cars of the Trans Am Series presented by Pirelli racing in the Motor City 100 and the high-flying trucks of the SST Series also racing on Saturday and Sunday, we feel our on-track lineup of seven races run over three days is one of the best and most diverse in motorsports. We encourage our fans to experience all the terrific entertainment and activities off the track as well. The Meijer Fan Zone has something for everyone with interactive displays, games and the Sports Zone, featuring local Detroit sports teams. MotorCity Casino Hotel’s Entertainment Stage will once again host live music all weekend long with local and national acts, including one of country music’s top duos in Montgomery Gentry on Saturday evening and Jody Watley featuring Shalamar Reloaded on Sunday afternoon. We want to thank our partners at Chevrolet and our new presenting sponsor, Lear Corporation, for making this special event possible and we appreciate all of the 70-plus companies and partners represented at the Grand Prix this weekend for their support. The continued success of the Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix presented by Lear is a credit to them, along with our dedicated volunteers and, of course, all of our great fans here at Belle Isle and those watching at home on TV. As we continue to work with our partners at the State of Michigan, the Department of Natural Resources and the Belle Isle Conservancy to make lasting improvements at Belle Isle Park, the Grand Prix is so proud to be a part of the revitalization of the island. We hope you have a great time at the Grand Prix and we ask that you please visit our website at DetroitGP.com in the coming days to let us know how you enjoyed your experience. Sincerely,

Bud Denker Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix presented by Lear Chairman 2 DEAR RACE FANS

On behalf of General Motors, Chevrolet and Cadillac, I’d like to welcome you to Detroit and to Belle Isle for another great weekend of motorsports action, the Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix presented by Lear. If you’ve never been to this event before, you’re in for a treat, and if you have, I think you’ll see a lot of improvements that will help you enjoy it even more. Watching the world’s best drivers face the challenge of the island’s 2.3-mile street circuit is exhilarating, whether you’re a lifetime race fan or new to our sport. This is one of the most exciting — and important — weekends of the year in our region. The weekend of racing at Belle Isle generates tens of millions of dollars in total spending for the Metro Detroit area. Belle Isle will host seven races from four series, June 2-4, including the only doubleheader race weekend on the Verizon IndyCar Series schedule – the Chevrolet Dual in Detroit. The races over the weekend at the Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix presented by Lear include: n Chevrolet Dual in Detroit (Verizon IndyCar Series) n Chevrolet Sports Car Classic (IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship) n The Motor City 100 (Trans Am Series presented by Pirelli) n SPEED Energy Stadium SUPER Truck Series (SST) I can’t think of anywhere else I’d rather be and I’m glad that you feel the same way. Thank you for joining us and I hope you have a great time.
