The Raceway on Belle Isle is classified as an FIA Grade Two circuit. AAA also held one five-mile (8 km), non-championship race at Grosse Pointe in 1905. Open wheel racing in Detroit dates back to the 1920s–1950s, when AAA held the Detroit 100 at the Michigan State Fairgrounds Speedway. From 2023 the race returned to the downtown streets around the Renaissance Center using a circuit partially based on the original Detroit street circuit used by Formula One and CART.

The race has been supported by Indy Lights and Formula Atlantic and top-level sports car series such as the Trans-Am Series and the ALMS. The Ind圜ar Series took over the race beginning in 2007. The CART series began headlining the event in 1989, and in 1992, the race moved from downtown Detroit to Belle Isle, a park situated on an island in the Detroit River, which is the longest serving venue of the race. The origins of the event date back to the Formula One Detroit Grand Prix on the Detroit street circuit. Since 2012, the event has been scheduled for the weekend immediately following the Indianapolis 500. The Detroit Grand Prix (currently branded as the Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix presented by Lear Corporation for sponsorship reasons) is an Ind圜ar Series race weekend held on a temporary circuit in Detroit, Michigan.
