Las Vegas is not new to Formula 1, the two Grand Prix were held in the ‘entertainment capital of the world’ in the car park of the Caesars Palace casino in 1981 and 1982. However, Formula 1 will this time take to the famous streets of Las Vegas, with cars racing down a 2km-long strip, leaving behind all the prestigious hotels and casinos such as Venice, Caesars Palace and Bellagio.

The street circuit will be 6.12 km long and will have 14 corners and 3 straights. The track layout is very free-flowing, and F1 believes that the average speed on the track will approach that of Italy’s Monza. This would also mean that the cars would run a lower downforce package on the track, and would mean that the DRS would not be as effective as some other circuits, yet would still provide a competitive race.
The track will have 14 corners and 3 straight lines, and will be a high speed – low downforce track.

“This is an incredible moment for Formula 1 that demonstrates the enormous appeal and growth of our sport with the third race in the US. Las Vegas is a destination renowned around the world for its excitement, hospitality, thrill and of course Known throughout the Strip”, said F1 President and CEO Stefano Domenicali. “There’s no better place to race for Formula 1 than the global entertainment capital of the world and we can’t wait to be here next year,” he said.
Saturday night’s run will also add to the glamor of the event.

Formula 1 has decided to host the Grand Prix on Saturday night instead of Sunday, which would mean track action begins on Thursday, with qualifying on Friday. The track will join Miami and the Circuit of the Americas (COTA) in Austin to host the third F1 Grand Prix in the country in the 2023 season, but promises to be the most spectacular.
