Las Vegas Grand Prix 2026

The Las Vegas Strip Circuit hosts the Las Vegas Grand Prix around the famous Strip in Las Vegas, Nevada, in the United States. Designed by Carsten Tilke and opened in November 2023, the 6.201 km street circuit passes landmarks including the Sphere, the Venetian, the Bellagio and Caesars Palace. It is a different venue from the Caesars Palace circuit that hosted Formula 1 in 1981 and 1982.

The anti-clockwise, 17-corner lap starts from a permanent pit and paddock complex built by Formula 1, loops around the Sphere and then joins Las Vegas Boulevard for a flat-out run of around 1.9 km past the Strip's hotels and casinos. Held late on a Saturday night in November, the race often takes place in cold conditions that make tyre warm-up difficult.

• Formula 1 bought the site of its pit and paddock complex for the race.
• The flat-out section along Las Vegas Boulevard runs for about 1.9 km.
• Held on a Saturday night, with cars racing past the illuminated Strip.

What to watch for: Cold night-time temperatures make tyre warm-up and graining the key challenge, while slipstreaming down the Strip sets up overtakes into Turn 14, with the Turn 1 hairpin another chance.
