2025 Firestone Grand Prix of St. Pete

Downtown St. Pete will become a mecca for race fans for the 21st consecutive time February 28 - March 2, 2025, as its streets are transformed into an IndyCar auto-racing track for the 2025 Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg, part of North America's top open-wheel racing series. The race is a huge draw: Attendance at the 2023 event was an estimated 200,000-plus people over the three-day weekend, breaking the previous year's record.Excitement builds in the city as luxury yachts fill downtown marinas and race drivers, teams and well-heeled fans arrive for Florida's only IndyCar race. The annual St. Pete competition is the first race in the 17-race 2024 NTT IndyCar Series. The St. Pete race is in good company: The series includes street races in Long Beach, California; Detroit, Michigan; and Toronto. The Indianapolis 500, which lent its name to the series, is the best known of the series' races on oval tracks.
