Formula One Event Coming to Minnesota this Fall

Formula One racing continues to grow in popularity in the United States, and fans of the high speed sport will get a chance to experience the power of F1 in a new event coming to Minnesota this fall.

Back in the late 90s, Minneapolis was home to the Grand Prix of Minnesota, that race was not Formula One, but had plenty of cars at high speed cruising around a street track designed around the Metrodome. This event will bring that excitement back to the streets of Minneapolis with the Red Bull Showrun.
