Acura LB Schedule again chock full of non-stop action
 |
| All that Toyota signage gets replaced with Acura |
The 45th edition of the Grand Prix will again bring tens of thousands of IndyCar race fans to Downtown Long Beach in mid-April.
Among the biggest changes to the race this year is its new title sponsor–Acura–which replaced Toyota Motors, the race’s sponsor for more than four decades.
Fans, however, may not notice much about the change aside from new colors (and new name) on promotional materials.
As always, the weekend festivities will feature Stadium Super Trucks, evening concerts, food trucks, libations—and of course, the main event, the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach on Sunday.
