Following the conclusion of the Detroit Grand Prix, organizers have clarified their intention to keep the event downtown even during a potential renovation of the area where the race is currently held. The 1.645-mile course surrounds the GM Renaissance Center in the heart of the city, with plans being discussed to renovate the building and possibly the track area. Detroit GP Chairman Bud Denker confirmed a new three-year extension for the event, expressing confidence in its continuation at the current location for the near future.

The move downtown has proven successful so far, with parking infrastructure supporting the event among skyscrapers. The long-term future remains uncertain, but organizers are optimistic about being included in discussions about the area’s development.
