It’s Grand Prix season in Long Beach, CA and the city is buzzing with excitement as it gets ready for the 40th Annual Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach. Those flying through Long Beach Airport (LGB) from now until March 30th are in for a racing enthusiast’s treat as travelers will be greeted by an IndyCar show car in the garden of LGB’s concourse. The Dallara DW12, worth more than $300,000, on display is the same car that is driven in the  IndyCar Series.

The yearly boom of racecar fans from across the country and around the globe will be rewarded as they disembark their plane to an up close and personal look at the Italian-made racing machine.
