Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach

April 16, 2023 @ 7:30 am - 5:00 pm

The 1.968-mile, 11-turn temporary street circuit for Indy cars encircles the Long Beach Convention Center — which houses a Family Fun Zone and numerous displays during the race weekend — and runs down scenic Shoreline Drive. It offers numerous overtaking opportunities, including Turn 1, getting the hairpin turn just before the frontstretch right is critical.

The IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, the Super Drift Challenge, Robby Gordon’s SPEED/UTV Stadium Super Trucks and the Porsche Carrera Cup North America usually races also.

It’s the longest-running major street race in North America.

Looking for a Free Friday ticket to Day 1!

Once again, you can get a free ticket to Day 1 of the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach. Well, it’s almost free since you have to purchase the newspaper. This is actually my favorite day to because the crowns aren’t there so you can see more. You can sit in any grandstand, walk in the pits, go into the Convention Center and see the many exhibits and watch all the different types of race cars practice. And…Friday is usually autograph day where you can get the autograph of your favorite driver.

So here’s how you can get your free ticket:
Just purchase a copy of one of the newspapers listed below on either a Friday or Sunday from now until April 14th. Inside, I found mine on the last page of the sports section, you should see something for a free ticket, then follow the printed instructions.

Here is a list of newspapers that take part in the free promotion: The Press-Telegram, the Daily Breeze, the Los Angeles Daily News, the Pasadena Star-News, the Whittier Daily News, the San Gabriel Valley Tribune, the Orange County Register, the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin, the San Bernardino Sun, the Riverside Press-Enterprise and the Redlands Daily Facts.

Event subject to change without prior notice. Please confirm times, dates and COVID-19 policy before attending.
