IndyCar 2025 Detroit GP full schedule: Where to watch, time, and everything you need to know

The biggest race of the IndyCar season is done and dusted but the championship is still to play for as the paddock moves to Detroit for the seventh race of the 2025 season. The race weekend will begin on May 30 and the race is scheduled to take place on June 1.

After an exhilarating Indy 500, Alex Palou has asserted his dominance at the top of the championship table. He has a 112-point lead at the forefront of the table with Pato O'Ward being the nearest rival in the standings.

The Spaniard has won five of the six races held so far, showcasing his resilience and top-notch racecraft. But, the other 26 drivers will be hoping to start making dents into the Chip Ganassi Racing driver's lead before it's too late.

Moreover, with the Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix rolling around, a myriad of drivers are seemingly in contention for the race win. Last year's race winner, Scott Dixon won the race after starting fifth, which portrays how bagging pole position is not everything at the street track as drivers only have to conquer nine turns on their way to victory.

So, the grid is revving up their engines to take on the 100-lap race and stand on the balance where the championship could spice up or fall into Palou's hands without any hesitance.
