The United States Grand Prix West was a race held at Long Beach, California, as a Formula 5000 race in 1975 and a Formula One World Championship event from 1976 to 1983 held in the same location throughout those years.
The name of the Grand Prix came from the fact ithe race was held in the Western United States and also because the United States Grand Prix title was already on the calendar as a race at Watkins Glen for most of the event's history.
