This was on a street lamp near downtown Detroit. My google fu tells me there was a CART race in ‘96, that’s it.

Pretty cool if this sticker is indeed 20 yrs old!

the Grand Prix used to run on downtown streets, before moving to Belle Isle. it also used to be an F1 race.

I highly doubt that sticker is 20 years old. The F1 car depicted on it is from 2002:

I’m not sure what the 1996 signifies.

I thought so too, but I can’t find any reference to a F1 race.

that was in the ‘80s. it moved to Belle Isle (and CART) in ‘89.
