I searched the official Detroit Grand Prix Website and there is no mention of Windsor. Did we pay $80,000 for the rights to market the event in Canada? Does the City get a block of tickets? Advertising at the race? Events in Windsor?
Are we getting value for our tax money here? Unfortunately, we'll probably never know.
Update: here's one of a "series" of events happening in Windsor during the Grand Prix weekend.
