“We want to have that walkability, that a downtown really gives you especially downtown Detroit.” “We want the businesses to benefit we want people to come down Park and go to a restaurant and then come to the event,” said Montri. Organizers did that purposefully to keep the races on the riverfront and south of Jefferson Avenue to avoid interfering with the bustling downtown district. This year’s track is only 1.7 miles long, about 600 metres shorter than the course on Belle Isle. “And through the day tomorrow to be ready for on track action on Friday morning,” said Montri. He said crews will close another road Wednesday night and work through the wee hours to complete the track build-out.
It's all it's all becoming real,” said Michael Montri, the president of the Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix presented by Lear.
The event moved from Belle Isle to the city core this year and organizers are trying to disrupt a minimal amount of traffic all while keeping an international border open. In less than 36 hours, Detroit will be home to the screeching tires of the Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix. For the first time since 1991, Indy Cars will soon be flying down Jefferson Avenue in downtown Detroit.
