An exhibition honoring GM’s motorsports heritage opened to the public last week at GM World, a space providing visitors with a year-round car show experience at the GM Renaissance Center.

Located in the heart of downtown Detroit at 400 Renaissance Center, GM World fills the five-story atrium at the center of the complex of seven interconnected skyscrapers where GM maintains its corporate headquarters on Detroit’s International Riverfront.

The GM motorsports exhibition features 13 vintage and modern racing vehicles and pace cars from across the motorsports spectrum, timed to set the stage for the the Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix, a three-day racing festival that will run June 1–3 on Belle Isle in Detroit.

With more vehicles to come this summer, the GM motorsports exhibition at GM World launched with the following vehicles on display:

• 1967 Camaro Indy 500 pace car that was driven by Mauri Rose
• 2015 Corvette Indy 500 pace car that was driven by Jeff Gordon
• 2016 Camaro SS Indy 500 pace car that was driven by Roger Penske

“The new display in GM World celebrates one of the richest histories in motorsports,” said Tim Mahoney, chief marketing officer of Global Chevrolet and GM Global Marketing Operations leader. “With the Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix only a few days away, it offers a great reason to visit the Renaissance Center before heading to Belle Isle for the races.”

The GM World experiential installation includes vehicle displays, large LED information screens and a vehicle turntable around the atrium’s center column. It is staffed by specialists who are available to answer questions about the displays as well as GM’s current new-vehicle lineup.
