F1 Las Vegas GP 2026| Date, Schedule & Start Time

After two races in the parking lot of the famous Caesars Palace in 1981 and 1982, Formula 1 cars will be seen on the iconic Las Vegas Strip for the fourth time in 2026, as the Las Vegas Grand Prix takes place in November.

F1 Las Vegas Street Circuit Features

The street circuit in Las Vegas is not everyone’s favourite, but according to F1 executives, a race in Las Vegas was simply a must.

This will be a night race held late in the evening, surrounded by the dazzling lights and extravagance of the Las Vegas Strip. The low evening temperatures will reduce grip on the street circuit, creating an extra challenge for the teams.

The street circuit will be over 6 kilometers long, with top speeds reaching around 342 kilometers per hour on the long straight section along the Strip. The track features long straights, fast corners, and slower chicanes—something for everyone!

History of the F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix

Las Vegas previously staged two races in the early 1980s, with the event known as the Caesars Palace Grand Prix.

In both 1981 and 1982, the race acted as the season finale. Alan Jones claimed victory in the debut running, while the World Championship was awarded to Nelson Piquet who finished in fifth place.

Keke Rosberg clinched the title at the 1982 event, but it was Michele Alboreto who took his debut F1 race win.

Formula 1 will return to Las Vegas for 2023 amid the sport's growing popularity in the United States, with the event becoming the third race to be held in the country in 2023 alongside Austin and Miami.
