2nd Detroit Grand Prix Date: June 5 1983 Location: Detroit street circuit, Detroit, Michigan Course: Temporary street course 4.120 km (2.56 mi) Distance: 60 laps, 247.195 km (153.60 mi) Weather: Sunny, warm Pole position: René Arnoux Ferrari 1:44.734 The circuit had been slightly modified from its original configuration the year before, with the pit lane extended to place the entrance before the final chicane, and a short new section of track eliminating the extremely tight hairpin at Turn Five. The new layout was faster and much preferred by the drivers. Friday's entire agenda was run in the rain, however, and it was left to a single hour on Saturday to decide the starting grid. Tyrrell's Michele Alboreto scored his second Grand Prix win and first points of the season, after inheriting the lead from Nelson Piquet with just nine laps to go when the Brabham driver stopped to replace a deflating rear tire. The tight downtown street course took away much of the advantage of the turbocharged cars, and Alboreto's win for Cosworth-Ford was the last of the season's three non-turbo victories. It was also the last for a normally-aspirated engine until the turbos were outlawed after the 1988 season, and the last of a record 155 wins for the legendary Cosworth DFV. Notes - Alboreto's win was the last for a normally-aspirated engine until the turbos were banned following the 1988 season. It was the last win for the Tyrrell team in Formula One. It was also the record 155th and final victory for the Ford Cosworth DFV V8, which powered 12 of 15 World Champions between 1968 and 1982, the first seven consecutively. There has never been another Formula One engine like it, before or since.
