Track Info
Las Vegas Strip Circuit - Las Vegas, USA
Temporary street circuit through the Resort Corridor - clockwise - ultra long Strip straight and a flat out night race
When was the track built?
The modern street course was created for the 2023 event using newly built and existing city streets around the Sphere, the Wynn and the Strip itself. F1 constructed a permanent pit and paddock complex on Sands Avenue, while the rest of the lap is formed by temporary barriers, TecPro and lighting optimized for night racing.
The design emphasizes spectacle and drafting battles, anchoring the lap with a roughly 1.2 mile Strip straight before a fast brake zone to close the lap. Ongoing refinements have improved bumps, drainage and sight lines while keeping the layout’s high speed character.
When was its first race?
The venue’s first race was the 2023 Las Vegas Grand Prix, a night event that reintroduced Formula 1 to the city on a brand new course distinct from the early 1980s Caesars Palace layout.
What's the circuit like?
- Straight line speed: The Strip straight produces some of the season’s highest top speeds and huge slipstream effects into the final braking zone.
- Stop start to sweepers: A big Turn 1 stop leads into a mix of 90 degree city corners and quicker arcs from T6 to T9 that reward stability over kerbs.
- Two DRS zones: One opens onto the Strip and another earlier in the lap, creating back to back chances to attack and counter into T1 and T5.
- Night conditions: Cool desert air at night boosts power but can make tyre warm up tricky, so out laps and Safety Car restarts are pivotal.
- Benchmark pace: Official F1 race lap record 1:34.876. Recent poles land in the low 1:32s with cars trimmed for low drag.
Lap records and benchmarks (by series)
- Formula 1 (race lap): 1:34.876 - Lando Norris, 2024 Las Vegas GP - current 6.201 km layout.
- Formula 1 (first year reference): 1:35.490 - Oscar Piastri, 2023 Las Vegas GP - inaugural event benchmark.
- Event heritage in Las Vegas: Earlier F1 visits in 1981 1982 used a different Caesars Palace car park circuit, historically separate from today’s Strip route.
Why go?
It is a neon soaked night race with long grandstands lining the Strip and sightlines past some of the world’s most famous resorts. Drafting battles and late braking into Turn 1 keep the racing honest, while the city delivers a festival weekend of concerts, cuisine and after hours energy.
Where's the best place to watch?
- Main grandstand and pit straight: Grid, pit stops and the sprint from the final corner with DRS open onto the Strip.
- Turn 1 complex: Heaviest braking on the lap and the prime overtaking zone. Great for starts, restarts and switchbacks.
- End of the Strip straight: Watch slipstream trains and late lunges as cars decelerate from top speed into the final sector.
- T6 to T9 sweep: Fast direction changes show which cars have balance when trimmed for low drag.
- Sphere and paddock zone: Unique visuals as cars pass the Sphere and dive toward the tight early lap complexes.
Not just F1: Las Vegas racing context
Historic F1 at Caesars Palace: The 1981 1982 races ran on a compact, separate circuit beside the old casino, adding a distinct chapter to the city’s GP history.
Regional and demo events: Non championship showcases and support activities around GP week bring one make GTs, classic displays and fan festivals to the Resort Corridor.
Wider Vegas motorsport: The city also hosts major events at Las Vegas Motor Speedway across NASCAR, NHRA and late model platforms, underscoring its year round racing culture.
