Artifact Overview

Detroit hosted its first Grand Prix in 1982. The annual event transitioned from Formula One to the CART Indy car series in 1989. While the first ten races used a street circuit downtown, in 1992 the competition moved to nearby Belle Isle in search of better track conditions. Driver Bobby Rahal earned the win that year for Rahal-Hogan Racing.
