The IndyCar Series has revealed a number of updates around the Streets of St. Petersburg for this weekend.
The 20th edition of the Grand Prix of St. Petersburg signals the start of the 2024 IndyCar season, with opening practice beginning at 2:45pm ET on Friday, 8 March. Drivers will take to the 1.8-mile, 14-turn temporary street circuit that will feature some subtle changes. The biggest change comes in smoothing out the bumps in Turn 3, which proved to be a trouble spot for competitors last year throughout the practice sessions before providing a massive crash involving six cars on the opening lap.
