When the American city hosts a night event in 2023, Las Vegas will provide the backdrop for Formula 1’s newest race. The Las Vegas Grand Prix will take place on a Saturday in November, joining Miami and Austin as one of three races in the United States. Although races were held in Las Vegas in 1981 and 1982, this will be the first time F1 cars will compete on the famous Las Vegas Strip, which will sweep past famous hotels and casinos.
The 14-turn track will be 3.8 miles (6.12 kilometres) long, with top speeds of around 212 mph (342 km/h). The Grand Prix will be run over 50 laps and will feature three straights, a high-speed cornering sequence, and a single chicane section. In collaboration with Live Nation Entertainment and the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA), as well as Founding Partners Caesars Entertainment, MGM Resorts International, and Wynn Las Vegas, and Presenting Partners MSG Sphere, Resorts World Las Vegas, and The Venetian Resort, F1 and Liberty Media will promote the race.
