The Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach is an open-wheel race held on a temporary road course in Long Beach, California. It was the premier circuit in the Champ Car World Series and was the first event in the World Series each year. The 2008 race was the last race for Champ Cars as the series merged with the Indy Racing League, and is now an event on the IRL calendar.
The Long Beach Grand Prix is also the longest running major "street" race held on the North American continent, having completed its 34th event. Attendance for the weekend regularly reaches or exceeds 200,000 people.
The Long Beach Grand Prix in April is the single largest event in the city of Long Beach. It started in 1975 as a Formula 5000 race on the streets of downtown, and became a Formula One event the following year. Since 1984 it has been a CART/Champ Car event. Other popular events during the Grand Prix week have included a Champ Car Atlantic series race, a Historic Grand Prix featuring pre-1990 cars, and the Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race.
The Long Beach Grand Prix has been announced since 1978 by Bruce Flanders (and his assorted guest announcers) and is frequently a fan favorite.
