What Makes The Grand Prix of Long Beach Special

written by Harvey Briggs April 16, 2026

It’s race week, and America’s premier open wheel series is headed to the west coast. The Long Beach Grand Prix is special, not just for IndyCar, but our publisher attended his first IndyCar race there. We go into the history of the Long Beach Grand Prix, Talk to Christian Lundgaard from McLaren, and talk about the different strategies that we’re likely to see given the fact that the teams will have to run two sets of the alternate tires this year.

It should be an exciting race and we can’t wait to cover it all on Rides & Drives Team Radio.
