LONG BEACH, Calif. -- Race fans attending the 40th Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach, April 11-13, will have an opportunity to take a walk down memory lane and get the autographs of three of racing’s greatest drivers at the same time!

A special "Four Decades of Racing in the Streets" display is available to the public in the Promenade Atrium of the Long Beach Convention Center. Admission is free with race ticket.

And, Mario Andretti and Al Unser Jr. - who, between them, won ten Toyota Grands Prix of Long Beach - will be available for autographs in special 45-minute sessions, along with Dan Gurney, legendary driver, car builder and co-founder of the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach.

  • Andretti will sign autographs on Sat., April 12 from 11 a.m. -11:45 a.m. in the Atrium.
  • On Sunday, Andretti, Gurney and Unser will sign in a 10:30 a.m.-11:15 a.m. session.


The display features 39 eight-foot boards highlighting each of past races, compete with a winner's circle photograph and the race's commemorative poster.
Many of the famous cars that scorched the city's streets will also be there, including:

  • Dan Gurney’s #48 Jorgensen Eagle Formula 5000 car … on Sept. 16, 1975, driven by Vern Schuppan, it was the very first race car to take to the city streets!
  • Brian Redman's F5000 Boraxo Lola T332, the car he drove to the first checkered flag at Long Beach
