The FIA decided to name the race the Luxembourg Grand Prix as the circuit was located some 80 kilometres (50 miles) from the Germany–Luxembourg border, thereby circumventing the ban on two races having the same name.
A FIA decidiu o nome da carreira, Gran Premio de Luxemburgo xa que o circuíto atópase a uns oitenta quilómetros da fronteira de Alemaña con Luxemburgo, eludindo así a prohibición de dúas carreiras co mesmo nome.
