F1 News: Updated Las Vegas Grand Prix Construction Photos Revealed
Exciting progress is being made on the Las Vegas Grand Prix's race circuit, as evidenced by recently shared updates and photos by passionate fans.
The thrilling course, set right in the heart of the city, promises an exhilarating experience for both viewers and drivers. The circuit sprawls over a distance of 6.12 kilometres, winding through the lively city streets, and features a challenging 14-turn path. The course will be wonderfully framed by iconic structures like the Venetian, the Bellagio, and Caesars Palace.
To bring this ambitious project to life, substantial reconstruction work has been necessary. This isn't just a simple overlay on existing streets; it requires a complete transformation into a top-tier racing circuit. With photos being released at various stages of the project, it's clear to see that significant progress is being made.
Previous updates have shown that there will be space for 13 garage units, each with three bays, to align with the future plans of the sport of bringing in additional teams.
Sharing updated photos of the progress, one fan posted to Reddit:
"Las Vegas GP site/surrounding construction progress as of August 2023"
The photos of The Sphere seem to have intrigued excited fans the most, one fan commented:
"Whether this event is good or not, the shots of the big tv bubble with the cars flying round is going to look crazy futuristic."
Another fan seemed concerned that the construction is not much more progressed ahead of the inaugural race, commenting:
"Not as completed as I’d like. Why do they always leave them so last minute?"
The Las Vegas Grand Prix is set to be on the F1 calendar until 2032 and will take place on 16 - 18 November this year as the penultimate race on the 2023 calendar.
