- The Grand Prix is not a demographic minority sport.
- The administration of any other major city with such a large minority population would think twice about placing what is essentially an all-white sport in their primary public park.
- It pollutes ...In so many ways.
- Combustion engines issue known complex pollutants in the direct vicinity of flora and fauna.
- The noise level is anathema to all living creatures and has no place in a park that is designated at a place for nature and contemplation. Tarmac, concrete and spectator stands instead of soil. These industrial intrusions eat up natural spaces for fauna and flora.
- The park is not a billionaire's toy
- Billionaire Roger Penske likes racing cars.
- That's fine, and we want him to enjoy his sport, but not on Belle Isle. The park is for the public, it shouldn’t be a venue for a paying spectator audience.
- The Belle Isle charter did not make the park for the purpose of commercial engagement
- It is tacky
- The prominent American urban park designer Frederick Law Olmsted, who designed Belle Isle, also designed New York's Central Park.
- Can anyone possibly imagine the citizens of New York allowing Penske to run his Grand Prix in Central Park?
- Of course not. Then why should we?
