Further proof of the growing popularity of F1 in the land of IndyCar and Nascar, it will be a new race of the discipline disputed in the United States, after the GP in Austin, Texas, run since 2012 and scheduled at least until 2026, and the GP of Miami, Florida, which will be contested for the first time on May 8.

Up to 342 km/h on the circuit

“It's an incredible moment for Formula 1 that demonstrates the huge appeal and growth of our sport with a third race in the United States.

Las Vegas is a destination known worldwide for its excitement, hospitality, thrills, and of course, the famous Strip,” F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali said in the statement.

The circuit, 6.12 km long, will feature 14 turns and three straights, with top speeds estimated at over 342 km / h, according to the organizers.

The announcement of this race comes at a time when the calendar for the 2022 season already includes a record total of 23 Grands Prix.

If several of the races contested this year are not yet guaranteed to be on the calendar next year - in particular the GP of France - Stefano Domenicali had assured earlier in March that there is "potential to go up to 24 » Grands Prix in a season.

With the growing interest of local organizers to host F1, Domenicali had even assured during an interview with the Sky Sports channel "that there is potential to go up to 30" races.

The Concorde Accords governing F1's governance and revenue distribution, however, currently limit the number of races per season to 24.
