Las Vegas host the Formula 1 Night race in 2023

 

The world's most popular neon lights of Las Vegas give the backdrop for Formula 1's latest race when the American city hosts a nighttime event in 2023.

The Las Vegas Grand Prix will be held on a Saturday in November next year and is one of three races in the United States, along with Miami and Austin.

In 1981 and 1982, Las Vegas hosted races, but this will be the first time Formula 1 car will race on the iconic Las Vegas Strip, which passes famous hotels and casinos.

The 14-turn circuit is 6.12 kilometers (3.8 miles) long and has an estimated top speed of 342 km/h (212 mph).

The layout includes three straight lanes, a high-speed corner sequence, and a chicane section, with the Grand Prix will run over 50 laps.

Formula1 and Liberty Media will collaborate with Live Nation Entertainment and the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA), along with founding partners Caesars Entertainment, MGM Resorts International, and Wynn Las Vegas, and showcase partner MSG Sphere to promote the event, Resorts World Las Vegas and The Venetian Resort.
