Formula 1 Announces Night Race in Las Vegas Beginning in 2023

Las Vegas is set to welcome Formula 1 Racing for a special event next year.

It was announced on Wednesday that Sin City is scheduled to host a night race in November 2023. Multiple videos were released promoting the impending marquee event.

Las Vegas will join Austin and Miami as stateside venues for Formula 1. The Miami Grand Prix will be held on May 8, while Austin's Circuit of the Americas has been home to the U.S. Grand Prix since 2012.

According to ESPN's Nate Saunders, the Las Vegas race will be held on a Saturday night, a rare departure from the usual Sunday schedule for grand prix events.

"This is an incredible moment for Formula 1 that demonstrates the huge appeal and growth of our sport with a third race in the U.S.," F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali said.

"Las Vegas is a destination known around the world for its excitement, hospitality, thrills, and of course, the famous Strip. 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."

Drivers will be zooming by some of the city's most recognizable landmarks during the 3.8-mile race, including Caesars Palace, Bellagio Fountain and Mandalay Bay. A look at the route was released:

A large reason for the surge in American interest in F1 has been the Netflix series Drive to Survive, a documentary series that gives a behind-the-scenes look at the drivers as they pursue the world championship.

Now, fans will have an opportunity to watch their favorite drivers in one of the most iconic cities in the U.S.
