The title of '''United States Grand Prix East''' was applied to two different [[Formula One]] World Championship events. It was used to refer to:
 +
* the [[United States Grand Prix]] races held at the [[Watkins Glen International|Watkins Glen Grand Prix Race Course]] from [[1976]] through [[1980]]; this was to distinguish it from the [[United States Grand Prix West]], held in [[Long Beach, California]] from [[1976]] through [[1983]].
 +
* the Formula One races held at the [[Detroit street circuit]] from [[1982]] through [[1988]]; the Detroit races were also called the '''Detroit Grand Prix'''.
 +
 +
In [[1982]], the U.S. became the first country to host three Grands Prix in one season. In addition to the [[Long Beach, California|Long Beach]] ([[United States Grand Prix West]]) and [[Las Vegas Grand Prix|Las Vegas]] races, the new event was held in [[Detroit, Michigan]] on another street course, encompassing the [[Renaissance Center]]. The original circuit had seventeen corners in 2.493 miles, including two very tricky hairpins and a tunnel that enclosed a gentle right-hand bend next to the river, and proved to be even slower than [[Monaco Grand Prix|Monaco]]. The rough, demanding, course even included a railroad track crossing. In [[1986 United States Grand Prix East|1986]], [[Ayrton Senna]] overcame a tire puncture to win his first of five American races in six years.
 +
 +
For [[1989]], it was originally planned to move the F1 grand prix to a new circuit at [[Belle Isle (Michigan)|Belle Isle]]. However, early on, an agreement could not be established, and the grand prix moved to Phoenix for [[1989]]-[[1991]]. Upon the departure of F1, the Detroit race was replaced by an event sanctioned by [[Champ Car|CART]]. For further information see [[Detroit Indy Grand Prix]].

The title of United States Grand Prix East was applied to two different Formula One World Championship events. It was used to refer to:

In 1982, the U.S. became the first country to host three Grands Prix in one season. In addition to the Long Beach (United States Grand Prix West) and Las Vegas races, the new event was held in Detroit, Michigan on another street course, encompassing the Renaissance Center. The original circuit had seventeen corners in 2.493 miles, including two very tricky hairpins and a tunnel that enclosed a gentle right-hand bend next to the river, and proved to be even slower than Monaco. The rough, demanding, course even included a railroad track crossing. In 1986, Ayrton Senna overcame a tire puncture to win his first of five American races in six years.

For 1989, it was originally planned to move the F1 grand prix to a new circuit at Belle Isle. However, early on, an agreement could not be established, and the grand prix moved to Phoenix for 1989-1991. Upon the departure of F1, the Detroit race was replaced by an event sanctioned by CART. For further information see Detroit Indy Grand Prix.
