Firestone Grand Prix Celebrates 20 Years!

Celebrating 20 years in 2024, race to book tickets now for the 2024 Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg presented by RP Funding, the iconic race March 8-10 along St. Petersburg’s downtown waterfront.

This landmark annual race weekend headlined by the NTT INDYCAR SERIES has become a staple in the St. Petersburg community as some of the most talented and accomplished drivers in the world compete on the city’s streets each year. The breakthrough inaugural Grand Prix of St. Petersburg, won by the late Dan Wheldon, was first promoted by Green Savoree Racing Promotions in 2005.

The Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg presented by RP Funding is annually one of the marquee weekends on the NTT INDYCAR SERIES calendar, and the 2024 race will serve as the series’ season-opener for the 14th time. In total, 13 drivers have taken the checkered flag on the streets of St. Petersburg including defending winner Marcus Ericsson and multi-time winners Helio Castroneves (2006, 2007, 2012), Will Power (2010, 2014), Sebastien Bourdais (2017, 2018) and Josef Newgarden (2019, 2020). Tickets are available online at gpstpete.com with pricing starting at $135 for reserved 3-Day Grandstand seats and $70 for 3-Day General Admission. Additionally, junior pricing is available for fans ages 12 and under. Pit and Firestone Paddock Passes can also be purchased. Single-day tickets will be released for sale in early 2024. 

The 2024 weekend schedule, highlighted by the NTT INDYCAR SERIES’ season-opening race, will have a full complement of racing series on track. Open-wheel development series INDY NXT by Firestone, USF Pro 2000 Presented by Continental Tire and USF2000 Presented by Continental Tire will battle on the 1.8-mile, 14-turn street course. New in 2024, exciting sports car action from IMSA VP Racing SportsCar Challenge joins the weekend schedule. Further weekend activities and entertainment elements will be announced at a later date.
