Track Facts
The circuit runs through the streets of downtown Long Beach, requiring the city to install temporary barriers, grandstands, and infrastructure every spring.
Formula 1 raced here from 1976 to 1983, with drivers like Clay Regazzoni, Carlos Reutemann, and Alan Jones winning.
The hairpin at Turn 11 is one of the slowest corners in American motorsport, while the front straight runs past the Long Beach Convention Center.
Ayrton Senna won the Long Beach F1 Grand Prix in 1984 — his first IndyCar-era win at the circuit before the series switched to CART.
The race weekend attracts over 185,000 spectators annually, making it one of the largest motorsport events in the United States.
