It marks the third consecutive year since the Grand Prix returned to Downtown Detroit that the event will feature more than 90 partners.
Nearly matching last year’s record of 94 Grand Prix sponsors, this year’s partnership portfolio reflects both fresh momentum and enduring loyalty. The Grand Prix welcomes 12 new sponsors in 2025, while 20 long-standing partners – some of whom have supported the event since 2013 – continue their commitment to fuel its success. Additionally, 13 sponsors have increased their level of commitment in 2025, further establishing the Grand Prix as a premier platform for impactful, long-term brand collaboration in the Motor City.
“We want to thank all of our amazing partners for their support and their commitment, not only to the Grand Prix, but to Downtown Detroit and the neighborhoods and communities across the city,” said Michael Montri, President of the Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix presented by Lear. “To welcome more than 90 partners to the Grand Prix for the third consecutive year demonstrates the value of this event and how it is part of the fabric of our city. We’re proud of how the Grand Prix brings people together, creates opportunities for local businesses and shines the light on the very best of Detroit to the world."
The Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix presented by Lear continues to deliver for its partners through on-track branding, exposure and activation, a premier hospitality experience for partners and their guests, as well as impactful programs and charitable initiatives that make a positive impact in the neighborhoods and communities across Southeast Michigan and beyond.
Highlighted by the support of General Motors and title sponsor Chevrolet, which helped bring the Grand Prix back to Detroit in 2012, fans will see a strong partner presence throughout the race venue this weekend on the Streets of Downtown Detroit.
