St. Petersburg’s stunning city-wide renaissance has caught the attention of America.

The Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg, takes place in April of each year. An Indy-style street course with high fences, tight turns and roaring race cars, the event is run on a 1.8-mile, 14-turn temporary street course that fronts St. Petersburg's Bay front and runs along Bayshore Drive.

This year's event will once again feature races from both the IndyCar Series and the American Le Mans Series (ALMS).
