Organizers said at the time they hoped the postponed event could be held with full fan participation. They confirmed those plans last week, pointing to the "recent pronouncement of the `reopening' of the state of California."

"We are excited to welcome our fans back in September," said Jim Michaelian, president and CEO of the Grand Prix Association of Long Beach. "We can't wait to bring the excitement back to the streets of Long Beach with full fan participation. With five incredible races -- including the INDYCAR season finale -- and a host of fun off-track activities, the Acura Grand Prix's entertainment value is second to none."

It will be the first time the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach has been held in September since the event's inaugural Formula 5000 race, which took place on Sept. 28, 1975.
