Las Vegas Grand Prix circuit
The 2024 Las Vegas Grand Prix takes place over 50 laps of the 6.2-kilometre Las Vegas Strip Circuit.
The Las Vegas Grand Prix has only been staged once before, having made its debut in the F1 calendar in the penultimate race weekend of the 2023 season. There were two editions of the Caesars Palace Grand Prix in 1981 and 1982, held in the parking lot of the famous hotel, which both served as the final round of the Drivers' Championship.
Designed by Carsten Tilke, the son of Formula One circuit designer Hermann, the track has 17 corners (including one chicane) with local authorities allowing F1 to use the Vegas streets for a decade.
The Las Vegas Grand Prix is held under floodlights, starting at 10 p.m. local time. As with all street circuits, the tight track and occasionally uneven road surface can play havoc with such finely tuned machines.
