The APBA Gold Cup

The Detroit River Regatta Association is proud to announce that the 103rd running of the APBA Gold Cup will be held July 13th-15th 2012!

The APBA Gold Cup, officially named the APBA Challenge Cup, is among the most prestigious of motor sport trophies, in part because it is the oldest active trophy in all of motor sports.  The trophy was first awarded in 1904.

See Unlimited Hydroplanes race at speeds near 200 miles per hour! Our event covers a large area on the Detroit River, so there are many different viewing areas and ticket plans. Come and join us for a casual picnic or an exciting view from the water's edge.

Friday is FREE day for practice and qualifying with free entry to the General Admission areas. Saturday and Sunday are race days.
