2023 will see three US GPs, including Vegas - let's hope it's better than last time...
will be on the Formula 1 calendar next year, the first time Vegas has hosted a race since 1982. It means that potentially four races could be held in North America, with Montreal, Miami and Texas already in the race schedule for 2022. One of Liberty Media's primary aims in its management of F1 was to expand the appeal of the sport in the USA, to show those viewers that open-wheel cars could do more than circles. Seems like the plan is working...will be 3.
The race itself will take place on a Saturday night in November 2023 , and run for 50 laps. The new circuit boasts 14 corners, three straights, and a predicted top speed in excess of 212mph. F1's President and CEO Stefano Domenicali said:"There is no better place for Formula 1 to race than in the global entertainment capital of the world and we cannot wait to be here next year.
So far, so good, then, although it does mean another street circuit for these huge new F1 cars to race on. Still, can't be as bad as the last time GP cars raced in Vegas, as shown in this video https://youtu.be/fqfWuqZitms. Held in what was basically a Caesar's Palace car park, it was not exactly an evocative circuit, flat and dull with concrete barriers everywhere. It wasn't popular, lasting just two seasons in the early 1980s.
