The streets of Detroit, in the U.S. state of Michigan hosted Formula One racing, and later CART racing, between the 1982 and 1991 seasons. The street circuit was set up near the Renaissance Center and the Cobo Arena, also including a small part of the M-1 highway, also known as Woodward Avenue. It is a flat circuit, with elevation ranging from 176 to 184 metres above sea level.
Created largely in an effort to improve the city's international image, the race meant that the United States would host three Grands Prix in the 1982 season , the only nation in F1 history to do so until the 2020 season, when Italy also hosted three Grands Prix: Monza, Mugello and Imola. The inaugural Detroit Grand Prix saw John Watson claim victory after starting in 17th place, the lowest grid position for an eventual race winner on a street circuit.
