SAN JOSE, Calif. -- The Champ Car circuit will race for the first time on a downtown street course in July after the city council approved a measure Tuesday to help fund the event.
San Jose will be the eighth stop next year for the open-wheel series. The race, scheduled July 31, will take place around the HP Pavilion and surrounding downtown streets.
According to the council's plan, San Jose and the San Jose Redevelopment Agency will provide $650,000 of the estimated $3 million needed to install and remove temporary race barriers and make street improvements.
The city also will host a week of concerts, fairs, charity events and promotional activities surrounding the race. Ticket sales from the event should repay taxpayers' initial investment, Mayor Ron Gonzales said.
"It will bring San Jose to the attention of millions of people across the nation and around the world," he said. "The event will also benefit our local businesses and generate revenues that help support vital city services for our residents."
