After being cancelled in 2020 to the coronavirus pandemic, the event returned in 2021. However, racing fans who attend the race annually said it didn't feel the same as it did before COVID-19 changed the way we live.
"It's a great time you watch race cars something you don't see often...cool to bring kiddos experience some racing up close," Dave Hellman told CBSLA Reporter Tena Ezzeddine on Sunday.
Hellman has been attending the Long Beach Grand Prix every since 1998. Except for 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Robert Orendain has been going to the race since the 1980s. "The 80s we watched AJ Floyd & Al Unser Jr. here," Orendain said."Yea the city does a really good job it's so well put together." "It's really hard to process who is going where CBS2 they're always pulling over but I think it's really interesting," Destiny Thomas said.
