The Las Vegas Grand Prix could remain on the F1 calendar up to the 2037 season following a key vote of lawmakers in Nevada.
The Clark County Commission unanimously approved a resolution on Tuesday, signalling that the event can continue on the 3.8-mile circuit until 2037 - potentially locking in another decade of the grand prix.
Las Vegas joined the calendar in 2023 on an initial three-year deal, which was extended until the end of 2027 last year. RacingNews365 understands there is an option for the race to be extended until 2032, with the vote of the Commission now paving the way for the grand prix to be held for five further seasons on top of this.
In the meeting on Tuesday, the Commission voted on an item on their agenda "to approve, adopt, and authorise the chair to sign an amendment to the resolution recognising the Las Vegas Grand Prix as an annual event."
This initial document was first signed on February 7th, 2023, to allow the race to go ahead, with the vote on Tuesday amending this to state that the grand prix is an "annual event" and to take place over the Thanksgiving weekend, potentially until 2037.
A sticking point for locals and businesses in the area of the track has been the disruption in the initial track build and de-rigging, something Commission Chair Michael Naft made clear would need to be "condensed" moving forward.
"I support this, but it’s got to come with very clear parameters that the purpose of more time is to condense the timeline,” he said.
"I think there are clear things that have been demonstrated through the work that you and your office have done in conjunction with the organisers that set a path for a condensed timeline and condensed disruption, and it’s going to be really important that the county make sure that we continue to stay on that point."
After the track activity for the evening has finished, the circuit is open for local traffic during the day, with F1 also investing heavily in the purpose-built paddock and hospitality facilities.
