DETROIT — Extending its longtime partnership with the Canadian city located just across the Detroit River from Belle Isle, the Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix presented by Lear will continue its alliance with the City of Windsor in 2022.
With residents of both Canada and the United States now able to travel across the international Detroit/Windsor border, Canadian race fans once again have the opportunity to enjoy the Grand Prix on Belle Isle this weekend, June 3-5.
Celebrating the 13th year of its partnership with the City of Windsor, the Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix presented by Lear will offer Canadian race fans a $10 U.S. discount (a value of nearly $13 CDN) on any available ticket for Saturday or Sunday at the Grand Prix.
“We are excited to welcome Canadian race fans back to the Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix presented by Lear. Because of the pandemic and border restrictions, we haven’t been able to host our Canadian fans at the Grand Prix in three years, so we look forward to celebrating the final Grand Prix on Belle Isle with our fans from across the border in Windsor,” said Michael Montri, president of the Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix presented by Lear. “The Grand Prix is proud of our partnership with the City of Windsor, and we want to thank Mayor Drew Dilkens and his team for their continued support and for helping us host a world-class event that showcases all that Detroit and Windsor has to offer.”
The City of Windsor will once again have a strong presence at the Grand Prix as a result of the renewed partnership. Grandstand 2 – overlooking one of the signature sections of the Belle Isle street circuit.
In addition, the City of Windsor International Media Center, located in the historic Belle Isle Casino, will once again serve as the home for the nearly 700 media members from around the world that will cover this weekend’s event.
“With Windsorites able to return to the action on site at the 2022 Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix presented by Lear, it’s exciting to see incredible discounted partner pricing for Canadian race fans wanting to attend this first-class race weekend,” said Windsor Mayor Drew Dilkens. “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, and it’s your last chance to catch the races on Belle Isle! Long known as the ‘Two Nation Destination,’ Detroit is a strategic partner for the City of Windsor and for Tourism Windsor Essex Pelee Island in many ways. Have a great time at the races.”
