The world’s biggest street race is coming back to The Greatest Arena on Earth™. That's right, November 2023 marks the return of Formula 1 racing to Las Vegas, for the first time in more than 40 years. Racing fans worldwide are already geared up for F1 2023 Las Vegas.

But before the tires start squealing up and down the Las Vegas Strip, here’s a few things you need to know about this landmark event.

 

The Basics

This isn’t the first F1 Las Vegas race, although it is the first in a long time. In 1981 and 1982, events were held under the name Caesars Palace Grand Prix with the course beginning in the Caesars parking lot.

Times have changed since those two races. For example, F1 races are now nearly twice as long, featuring long straightaways where drivers can reach speeds up to 212 miles per hour.

More details about this exciting global phenomenon:

  • Formula 1 is an international auto racing circuit featuring the highest level of single-seat, open-wheel, and open-cockpit professional motor racing. The term “Formula” is derived from the specific rules drivers must follow.
