Just this morning, F1 announced that Las Vegas, USA, will host the F1 Grand Prix from 2023 onwards! It also means that there will be three F1 Grand Prix in the United States in the 2023 season.
In terms of track layout, the Las Vegas Street Circuit has a total length of 6.12 kilometers, the number of laps in the main race will be 50 laps, a total of 14 corners, and the design of the track is characterized by three straights, a continuous high-speed bend and a deceleration bend. And this big straight road that is close to 2 kilometers long undoubtedly makes the riders and fans excited! The top speed is also expected to reach 342 km / h.
Of course, this is not the first time that Las Vegas has hosted an F1 event, the 1981-82 F1 finale was held here, when the competition was based on the vast parking lot of Caesars Palace as the venue, so it is also known as the Caesars Palace Grand Prix.

However, due to the poor content and box office of the race due to the design of the track, it left the calendar after the end of 1982, and although the IndyCar competition was held after adjusting part of the course, it still became history after the end of 1984.
Unlike then, the Las Vegas Grand Prix will enter the calendar in the form of a night street race. What's more worth mentioning! The las Vegas race will take place on Saturday night! It is also the second time since the 1985 South African Grand Prix that F1 has held a regular race on Saturday. Watching F1 cars at high speed on the brightly lit streets of Las Vegas will be an unparalleled spectacle.
