View the Las Vegas Grand Prix map | This track layout guarantees a spectaculair grand prix
Formula 1 is returning to Las Vegas with a new track designed by Carsten Tilke, son of Hermann Tilke, known for his work on other iconic F1 circuits like the Red Bull Ring and COTA. The construction of the track is estimated to cost around $500 million, with the city expecting to reap economic benefits exceeding $1 billion. However, concerns have been raised on social media about the design of the pit lane exit, particularly with the challenging Turn 1, where cars will rejoin the track midway through the corner. Despite this potential issue, fans are eagerly anticipating the inaugural Las Vegas Grand Prix, which will take place at night and provide a stunning backdrop with the famous hotels and casinos illuminating The Strip, along with the new Sphere.
