Two of the most iconic names in motorsport history, Mario Andretti and Al Unser Jr., will serve as co-Grand Marshals for the 50th Anniversary Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach, April 11-13, 2025. The milestone race weekend will celebrate 50 Years at Full Speed with special fan experiences, thrilling racing and a celebration of racing legends who have starred on the iconic streets of Long Beach.

Mario Andretti is a motorsports icon whose career accomplishments span multiple decades and disciplines. Andretti’s extensive resume includes a victory at the 1977 Formula 1 United States Grand Prix West in Long Beach, solidifying his status as an international star and the race’s status as a major international event. Among his many achievements are the 1978 Formula 1 World Championship, four Indy Car titles, and victories in the Indianapolis 500, Daytona 500, and 24 Hours of Le Mans. When Long Beach switched to Indy cars in 1984, Andretti won that race, again establishing Long Beach as a world-class event and went on to win twice more over the next three years. Andretti is widely regarded as one of the greatest racing drivers of all time.

“I’m happy to be serving as Co-Grand Marshal for the 50th Anniversary,” said Andretti. “I participated in the first-ever race in Long Beach in 1975.  The Formula 5000 race was hugely successful, paving the way for Formula One officials to place Long Beach on the 1976 schedule just six months after the inaugural race.

“The fondest memories I have racing on the streets of Long Beach are my victories.  And for my son Michael, Long Beach has the distinction of being his first career Indy Car win (1986) and his final victory as a driver, his 42nd and final career IndyCar win (2002). 

“This track obviously is a family favorite,” Andretti continued. “I retired at the end of 1994 after racing for four decades on just about every course imaginable.  Long Beach is by far the most successful street race ever staged in American motor racing history.  It is truly amongst the best I’ve ever seen.”

Al Unser Jr., affectionately known as "Little Al," is the winningest driver in Long Beach history, with six victories (1988-91 and 1994-95) over a dominant eight-year span. Unser also boasts two Indianapolis 500 wins (1992 and 1994) and is a two-time Indy Car champion (1990 and 1994). A 2009 inductee into the Long Beach Motorsports Walk of Fame and Motorsports Hall of Fame of America, Unser’s dominance on the streets of Long Beach earned him the nickname, "King of the Beach."

“I’m extremely honored to be Co-Grand Marshal at Long Beach with Mario Andretti,” said Unser. “It’s always been one of my most favorite races, and certainly it’s the most popular race on the circuit next to the Indianapolis 500. I always tried hard to do well at Long Beach and while we were often very fast there, it was also a lucky track for me – the ball ‘bounced my way’ a lot over the years. We were always so excited to win in Long Beach!”

“It’s an incredible honor to have Al and Mario as part of this historic celebration,” said Jim Michaelian, President and CEO of the Grand Prix Association of Long Beach. “Their accomplishments on and off the track are legendary, and their presence will make the 50th-anniversary event truly unforgettable for fans and participants alike.”

The Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach will be headlined by the NTT INDYCAR SERIES, as well as the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. In addition, the weekend will include the Super Drift Challenge under the lights on Friday and Saturday nights, plus doubleheader action from Robby Gordon’s SPEED Energy Stadium Super Trucks, GT America Powered by AWS and the unique Historic Formula Exhibition, featuring cars from the three racing eras at Long Beach – Formula 5000, Formula 1 and Indy Car – racing together for the first time.

Forsythe. The association administers the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach, the longest-running major street circuit race in North America.

For the first time, legendary cars from three iconic series that raced here – Formula 5000, Formula 1, and INDYCAR – will compete together Saturday and Sunday of race weekend on Long Beach’s city streets.

Organized by the Historic Motor Sports Association (HMSA), the Historic Formula Exhibition promises a showcase of the technological evolution and rich motorsport legacy of each series while giving fans the opportunity to witness the power and beauty of these historic machines during twin 20-minute races on Saturday and Sunday of race weekend.

Among the cars scheduled to participate in the event:

From Formula 5000: the #48 All-American Racers Gurney Eagle, which was the event’s first pole winner and first-ever to turn a wheel on the racetrack in 1975, piloted at the time by Vern Schuppan and currently owned by Tom Malloy, whose impressive car collection is located in nearby Corona.

From Formula 1, the 1977 race-winning #5 John Player Lotus 77 which was famously driven by Mario Andretti. Andretti’s popular win made him the first American to win a United States Grand Prix and propelled the Grand Prix of Long Beach to iconic status on the world motorsport calendar.

The Indy car entries will be headed by the 2005 Long Beach-winning car of Sebastien Bourdais, the #1 Ford Lola 05/00. Bourdais’ 2005 win was the first of three consecutive Long Beach wins the Frenchman would author for Newman/Haas Racing.

“This year’s event is such a great celebration: the 50th anniversary Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach,” said HMSA President Cris Vandagriff. “It will be great showcasing the cars that have made motorsports an event to celebrate in Long Beach.

The Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach will celebrate 50 Years at Full Speed next April 11-13 with a new logo and look for its 50th anniversary, which will feature a number of commemorative events in the weeks leading up to race weekend.

The logo, developed by Acura and the Grand Prix Association of Long Beach, evokes a 1970s feel with a stylized “50” that resembles both a racetrack and a “retro” racing logo of the era. In addition, the “50” includes a checkered flag positioned in the lower right portion of the zero and the primary version of the logo will appear in “Long Beach Blue,” featured on multiple limited editions of Acura vehicles dating back to the first-generation NSX.

The logo is the first of many announcements that will be made by Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach officials about special 50th anniversary activities in the coming months.

“This is a very special year in the history of the Grand Prix and the introduction of the new logo is just the first of many special activities highlighting what has taken place over the past 50 years here in Long Beach,” said Grand Prix Association of Long Beach President & CEO Jim Michaelian. “Soon we will be announcing a unique racing event, special exhibits, and other participatory events for everyone to enjoy.”

Confetti filled the air, champagne soaked the drivers’ suits in Victory Circle and the shore roared with a day-long celebration as the 49th Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach reached its climax on Sunday.

Scott Dixon drove his No. 9 PNC Bank Chip Ganassi Racing Honda to victory in the NTT INDYCAR SERIES race. It was his second win here and 57th of his career. He held off 2021 winner Colton Herta while reigning series champion Alex Palou was third.

As is the Sunday tradition at Long Beach, the weather was ideal, a pleasant 75 degrees and not a cloud in the sky. The fans got pumped up early with the Historic Indy Car Challenge, won by Tim DeSilva in the 1995 Lola, and soaked up the unique atmosphere as much as the sunshine. 

There is something special about race day at the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach. You can see it in all the activities and the excitement on the fans’ faces, but you can feel it, too. You can sense the energy from the very beginning when vendors put out their goods for sale all the way to the event’s finish line after the checkered flag falls on the last race.

Many spectators began their day at the Korbel virtual victory circle soon after entering the facility. Others went straight into the Expo and the Family Fun Zone. They wandered behind the Shoreline Drive grandstands, along the promenade, stopped at food vendors or grabbed big Modelo beers. Those with paddock passes got up-close looks at the Indy cars with mechanics making final adjustments before the race. The dinging bell at the King Taco stand that signaled a customer’s order was ready provided a soundtrack to the area by the paddock entrance.

Then it was a race to the seats to catch the heart-pumping pre-race ceremonies that involved rockstar-style driver introductions, Grand Marshal Gabriel "Fluffy" Iglesias and the drivers taking a lap around the track in the back of pickup trucks, both of which had the fans on their feet and cheering. Even the fish in the Rainbow Harbor lagoon were jumping up to catch a glimpse of the excitement. 

After Dixon’s win, fans left their seats not to leave, but to get a ground-level view of the Stadium SUPER Trucks as the vehicles got airborne while jumping ramps along Shoreline Drive. They got an unexpected treat when a collision caused the fencing to need a repair, ending the race early and providing an up-close view of the Laborers International Union of North America (LIUNA) scaling the fences to expertly do their job. Matt Brabham was declared the winner.

At the same time, a mariachi band entertained people in the Nocaut Tequila Club, proof that everywhere you went there was something to see and do at the Grand Prix. 

The day concluded with the GT America race, won by Jason Daskalos in the SRO3 class with Dan Knox in GT2 and Issac Sherman in GT4.

With that, the 49th Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach joined all the other events in the history books. Like its predecessors, it provided plenty of memorable moments and had people talking about coming back next year, which will be the 50th anniversary.

History met the present at the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach on Saturday with the historic Indy Cars leading the way for a day of race winners and pole sitters, of hungry fans feasting on race cars and food from the many vendors, of atmosphere and action and ending with cars drifting one one side of the facility while Gretchen Wilson and the All-Star Jam jammed on the other.

Felix Rosenqvist qualified on the pole for the NTT INDYCAR SERIES race, Renger Van der Zande and Sebastian Bourdais won the IMSA WeatherTech Championship race in GTP with Ben Barnicoat and Parker Thompson in GTD, Jason Daskalos stood on the top step of the podium in the GT America SRO3 class with Dan Knox in GT2 and Issac Sherman in GT4, former Indy 500 winner Tony Kanaan took the Historic Indy Cars win and Max Gordon was tops in the Stadium SUPER Trucks.

Additional winners were the fans, who roamed the grounds around Long Beach by the shore, took pictures in the paddock and Expo, downed Modelo beers and food from vendors ranging from King Taco to large pretzels, danced and sang to music from DJs and fully enjoyed all that there is to experience at the Grand Prix.

It has been that way for 49 years now, and while many faces and car styles have changed, there is always a piece of history present at America’s #1 street race. Two of the biggest pieces of that history have been here this weekend: Mario Andretti,  a four-winner here and the original “King of the Beach,” and six-time winner Al Unser, Jr., serving as pace car driver for the Historic Indy Car challenge. It had been a while since the current “King” took a lap around this track and the huge smile on his face as he turned the pace car down pit lane showed how thrilled he was to be back in a car here.

This all provided the perfect buildup to Sunday’s final day, which features the NTT INDYCAR race at 12:45 with all the pageantry that leads up to it. That starts with the Historic Indy Car Challenge race #2 at 10:45, building to the thrilling “Drivers, start your engines!" by Gabriel "Fluffy" Iglesias and then the race itself. So if you’re wondering when to get here, be on site by 9 in order to get the full experience.

Afterward, do as the veteran Grand Prix fans do and hang around for the Stadium SUPER Trucks at 3:30 and the GT America race at 4:20. The vendors are still serving, the music is still playing and the vibe is still flowing.  Soak up every last second of the scene because it’s going to be another year before it all happens again.

Mario Andretti himself said it best again this Friday. “It’s an event,” the legend remarked, repeating a phrase he has used through the years.

You can see it in the race cars and in the eyes of the fans. You can hear it with the engines and DJs. You can even smell it with the rubber on the road and the sizzling of meats on the grills at the many food vendors.

The Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach is just that, an event, and the 49th version roared into action on Friday. Fans poured through the gates with the quick steps of anticipation as they made their way through the very familiar grounds around the convention center, arena and Shoreline Drive. 

The cars of NTT INDYCAR SERIES, the IMSA WeatherTech Series, GT America, Historic Indy Cars and the bouncing trucks of the Stadium Super Trucks filled the temporary track on the city’s most scenic downtown streets. As DJ Ape Drums pumped out his signature Caribbean and Latin-inspired rhythms for Fiesta Friday presented by Acura, the rubber-burning Formula Drift cars were sliding their way though turns 9, 10 and 11.

Fans were thrilled to see and meet their favorite NTT INDYCAR drivers during the late afternoon autograph session and stopped to watch crews work on the team cars in the paddock all day. They wandered through the Expo and Family Fun zone, stopping to look at the near-dizzying number of displays, line up for coveted freshly-printed Acura t-shirts and shop at the vendor booths. Parents smiled as their kids took a seat in the  free-to-ride “Lil’ Lightning Racers” electric-powered cars, bumped into each other in bumper cars and slid down a large slide.

Some walked around the sunny grounds with giant Modelo beers while others rocked out in the Nocaut Tequila Club. The Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach is truly an attraction for all fans.

Two qualifying sessions were held on Friday in preparation for races on Saturday.  On the pole for Saturday’s IMSA WeatherTech race are Pipo Derani and Jack Aitken in GTP and Ben Barnicoat and Parker Thompson in GTD. The GT America pole sitters are Johnny O’Connell in the SRO3 class, Dan Knox in GT2 and Gray Newell in GT4.

Andretti, who won here four times and drove in the first event back in 1975, knows the passion the Long Beach Grand Prix brings to people, along with the excitement and energy of a street race. An event? Absolutely.
