The St. Petersburg (Fla.) City Council on Thursday unanimously approved a resolution for the March 1 racing of the 2026 Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg.
The IndyCar race week will be Feb. 27 to March 1, with the temporary circuit a 1.8-mile, 14-turn configuration through the streets of St. Petersburg. The dates are the same calendar week as this year’s race, which opened IndyCar’s season.
“The 2025 event was another tremendous success with record crowds across the three days,” said Kim Green, co-owner, chairman and CEO of event organizers Green Savoree Racing Promotions. “After consulting with the City of St. Petersburg staff and multiple stakeholders, IndyCar and our Green Savoree Racing Promotions teams agree continuing this great downtown tradition on similar dates is optimal. We look forward to planning for and hosting the Grand Prix on the same weekend in 2026.”
Spain’s Alex Palou, a three-time IndyCar Series champion including in 2023 and 2024, won in St. Petersburg for the first time on March 2. His Chip Ganassi Racing teammate Scott Dixon of New Zealand was second and Team Penske’s Josef Newgarden took third place.
