Detroit Grand Prix: Free, Loud, Worth It


Listen Later

Free entry. Dollar parking. Engines you can feel in your chest. The Detroit Grand Prix is one of the most accessible motorsports events in the country, and this week I went down to find out what the people working it and attending it actually think.

I'm joined on location by Lexi and Jason, two first time Grand Prix workers, for a conversation about the vibes, the community, and why this weekend pulls Detroit together across every walk of life.

TRY THIS TOMORROW
If you're near the Detroit Grand Prix this weekend, come down for at least one hour. Street parking is roughly a dollar. Entry is free. Walk the paddocks. Meet someone you wouldn't otherwise meet.
