In November 2021, the Detroit City Council approved a contract to return the weekend event downtown from its current home on Belle Isle.
Detroit Belle Isle Grand Prix Inc. told councilmembers in September 2021 that it wanted to hold the IndyCar race from 2023 through 2025 on a 1.7-mile track along city streets instead of on Belle Isle.
The IndyCar Series started racing on the island in 2007.
