Improvements are coming for the 2024 DetroitGP after IndyCar listened to feedback from its drivers ⬇️
A new 1.645-mile track was constructed in the shadow of the Renaissance Center, the global headquarters of General Motors, and used some stretches of the Formula 1 track, which was used from 1982 to 1988.
“We learned a lot of lessons,” said Denker. “One thing I'll face right up front is the track. It's interesting because the drivers provided us with information from their simulations. “They all used the left side for the braking, right? We're like, ‘Okay, we should have done the left side for that braking.’ We could have done it, but your asphalt has [to have time] to cure.”Denker pointed to the overtaking statistics to prove the quality of the racing on Sunday: “Looking at the numbers in front of me, we had the quality of racing: 189 on-track passes, 142 for position, which equals Long Beach.
One added problem is the harsh winters that Detroit endures each year, which adds new track surface issues.“It was really interesting for us to watch the [racing] lines. That wasn't the information they gave us. Anyway, now we know and we'll fix those areas to make it smoother as you come into the braking zone.
