Formula 1 will continue to race in Las Vegas through 2037 following a new 10-year extension, meaning plenty more visits to what has become one of the most spectacular events on the calendar. Here, we highlight what makes the Grand Prix so special via some standout statistics…
3.2
Since its arrival on the F1 calendar in 2023, the Las Vegas Grand Prix has delivered $3.2 billion in cumulative economic impact for the Southern Nevada region, while the 2025 race on its own generated $43 million in state and local tax revenue.

6.201
The Las Vegas Strip Circuit is 6.201km long, including a spectacular 2km stretch down the famous strip, making it the second-longest track on the F1 calendar, behind Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium.
63
More than 60 Nevada-based nonprofits and community organisations were supported by cash grants or in-kind donations around the 2025 event.
181
Of the three races that have been staged so far, the debut 2023 edition featured a whopping 181 overtakes – the most seen at any round that season.
229.2
Alex Albon holds the record for the fastest speed ever recorded at the Las Vegas Strip Circuit, reaching an incredible 368.9 km/h (229.2 mph) at the 2024 event.
309.958
In terms of race distance, drivers cover precisely 309.958km, which is the best part of driving from the Las Vegas desert to the Los Angeles coast.
1,200
In 2025, more than 1,200 active-duty military members and their families were invited to watch some track action during the race weekend.

1,750
Las Vegas is, of course, a night race, with F1 sessions taking place into the late hours. As such, 1,750 temporary lights are required to illuminate the track.
2,400
With 17 turns spread across the 6.2km circuit length, around 48 gear changes are required per driver, per lap, which means around 2,400 across the 50-lap race.

Lining the Las Vegas Strip Circuit are no fewer than 3,500 track barrier blocks, while 42 road openings are also dotted around the track from Turn 1 to Turn 17.

71,481
Over 70,000 pounds of leftover food was rescued and donated to local hunger relief organisations following the 2025 Las Vegas Grand Prix.
188,098
Almost 190,000 gallons of water was generated by the Las Vegas weekend in 2025 via a dedicated Atmospheric Water Generator.
