Las Vegas Strip Circuit

History and Construction

The circuit was designed by Carsten Tilke, the son of renowned track architect Hermann Tilke.
A $240 million investment was made to purchase a 39-acre plot of land to build a permanent pit and paddock facility.
The first Formula 1 race on the Las Vegas Strip Circuit was scheduled for November 18, 2023, although it had previously competed in Las Vegas in the 1980s.
The construction of the circuit, which uses public roads and is primarily a temporary layout, presented a huge logistical challenge.
To ensure safety and adequate road grip, most of the track, including the iconic "Strip," was completely resurfaced.

Design and Features

The circuit is 6.201 kilometers long, with a total of 17 corners.
The circuit has two long straights, including the 1.92-kilometer "Strip" section, which reaches speeds of up to 340 km/h.
The circuit layout has an unusual shape, with a section surrounding the Sphere and the famous "Strip" section.
With a permanent pit lane and paddock, most of the track is constructed from public streets in the city of Las Vegas.
Night racing takes advantage of the city's artificial lighting and lower track temperatures.
