A Race Unlike Any Other in the Capital
The street circuit event, described as without precedent in Washington DC, brought professional open-wheel racing to roads more accustomed to political motorcades and diplomatic traffic. Trump's involvement lent the occasion a distinctly ceremonial character, with the presidential limousine leading proceedings ahead of the competitive field.
