This isn't just a race—it's a full-throttle fusion of motorsport, neon lights, and Vegas-style drama.
The Las Vegas Strip Circuit is unlike any other on the F1 calendar. Drivers will blaze through 50 laps of a 6.2 km track that snakes past iconic landmarks like Caesars Palace, the Bellagio fountains, and the MSG Sphere. With 17 corners, three straights, and two DRS zones, expect high-speed overtakes and jaw-dropping visuals as the cars scream beneath the city’s glowing skyline.
