However, it will be about long and fast circuit. It is 6.1 km long – it will be the third longest in the calendar – and at the end of the longest straight, the monoposts have a speed of up to 342 km / h. The track has fourteen turns, including one long, 180-degree track, which will be a particularly big challenge for the racers.

Another attraction of the Las Vegas race, which will take place for the first time next year, is the time of the event. Unlike all the others (and for the first time since 1985), the red lights to signal the start of the grand prize will go out on Saturday. However, due to the time lag, we will have an early Sunday morning.
