Partnership with Grand Prix yields discount for Canadian race fans

The City of Windsor has renewed its partnership with the Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix for a 13th year benefitting Canadian race fans.

Canadians can get a $10US discount on their tickets to events on Saturday and Sunday.

The Grand Prix gets underway on Friday for the last time on Belle Isle before it moves to the streets of Downtown Detroit next year.

Fans can get the discount by visiting the Grand Prix's website and entering the code "YQG" at checkout.

"Because of the pandemic and border restrictions, we haven't been able to host our Canadians fans at the Grand Prix in three years," said Grand Prix President Michael Montri.

The city will have a strong presence at this year's event in Grandstand 2, overlooking the start/finish line, Turns 1 and 2, and pit lane. Windsor is also sponsoring the International Media Centre inside the historic Belle Isle Casino.

"Whether you've been before or are heading over for the first time, this is a not-to-be-missed world-class event in our own backyard," enthused Windsor Mayor Drew Dilkens.

Canadian fans will also have access to the Fifth Third Bank Paddock, where teams prepare to compete on the track, the Meijer Fan Zone, and the new Fountain Fan Area.
