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.
