Detroit GP returning to downtown in 2024

Since 2013, the Detroit Grand Prix has consisted of a two-race weekend, usually featuring a race on Saturday and another on Sunday.

IndyCar is making its comeback to a single-race format for the Detroit GP, marking the first time since then.

The change is motivated by the intention to bring back this event to the streets of Detroit beginning in 2024.

In November of last year, Penske Entertainment’s proposal to bring back the Detroit GP to downtown was given unanimous approval by the City Council of Detroit. This exciting plan entails a single-race weekend, set to take place next year. This event marks the first time auto racing will return to downtown Detroit since 1991.

Penske’s proposal aims to create a more seamless traffic experience in the city before the race, while also providing enhanced accessibility and visibility for spectators. The suggested track will consist of 10 corners and span 1.7 miles, in contrast to the current 2.5-mile track on Belle Isle.

The streets that will be featured in the new track are:

• Jefferson Avenue.
• Bates Street
• The street is called Atwater St.
• Saint Antoine Street.
• Franklin Street
• Rivard Street

Ericsson looks to build on Indy 500 win

Alex Palou and Josef Newgarden are considered the frontrunners for this race, according to oddsmakers.

Indy 500 Odds	Alex Palou	Josef Newgarden	Colton Herta	Patricio O’Ward	Will Power
DraftKings	+500	+500	+600	+600	+600
BetMGM	+450	+550	+550	+550	+600
BetRivers	+450	+550	+500	+550	+650

After securing a victory at Sunday’s Indianapolis 500, Marcus Ericsson has propelled himself into the top spot of the point standings, leading by a comfortable margin of 13 points over Patricio O’Ward.

Both Ericsson and O’Ward emerged victorious at Belle Isle in 2021. Ericsson claimed the win in the opening race, while O’Ward dominated Sunday’s finale.

After securing three wins at Belle Isle, Scott Dixon, an experienced IndyCar driver, currently holds the sixth position in the season standings. However, his recent 21st-place finish in the Indy 500 has slightly impacted his overall ranking.

How to bet on the Detroit Grand Prix?

Although NASCAR, Formula 1, and IndyCar have distinctive characteristics, the available betting options for all these motorsports are quite similar.

The following are the types of wagers you can anticipate encountering for the Detroit Grand Prix, or IndyCar racing in general.

• Outrights in IndyCar betting involve placing a wager on a specific driver to emerge as the race winner. These bets are placed at the existing moneyline odds. It’s worth noting that IndyCar outrights consistently present favorable odds since there are no clear favorites to win. The numerical value indicates the potential winnings for every $100 bet.
• Bet on driver matchups or groups: Place bets on one driver against another or on a group of drivers. The bets will be booked at the moneyline odds that are currently posted. You don’t have to choose winners, just predict who will finish ahead in a head-to-head situation or among a group of drivers.
• If you lack confidence in a driver’s ability to win, you can frequently come across odds that offer a podium finish or a top-five placement with more favorable odds.
• As the race draws near, additional betting options become accessible. You may frequently come across odds for over/under finishing positions, fastest lap odds, or even live bets. Furthermore, there will be prop odds related to various aspects of the actual race, such as the number of caution flags, the brand of the winning car, and more.
