The recent statements by Günther Steiner on the number of GPs that will be hosted by United States in the next season, considered insufficient compared to the three on the calendar, they did nothing but look with curiosity at 2023. In fact, in addition to the more classic US GP in Austin and Miami, which started this year, next season the return of the Las Vegas Grand Prix, returning after an absence of 41 years. In the past, in fact, F1 held two races here in the two-year period 1981-1982 on a circuit obtained from the Caesars Palace car park. In both cases, the trials proved decisive for Nelson Piquet and Keke Rosberg’s world title victory, with Michele Alboreto also achieving his first career success in 1982.
The project, however, failed almost immediately, with negotiations to bring F1 back to a successful conclusion only this year. In this way, Las Vegas was included for the 2023 championship with a three-year contractwhich will guarantee the race until 2025 included on a different track from the one built in the 1980s. However, the organizers of the event are looking well ahead of the expected deadline. The confirmation came directly from Emily Prazersenior vice president of the commercial sector of the GP intervened at the BlackBook Motorsport Forum: according to the latter, in fact, the intention is that of a much longer stay in F1, also favored by the direct financial participation of Liberty Media on this event, which does not occur elsewhere.
Limited to the project, Prazer expressed itself as follows: “From our point of view, we bought a piece of land with the intention of organizing a race here – has explained – I don’t think there is any intention of staying here for just three years. We want to be here forever. This is a single market and a place where we think we can continue to grow this sport. Therefore we are very excited about this type of permanent infrastructure that will be built. From our point of view we are evaluating how to exploit that piece of land throughout the year, in order to give a Las Vegas experience like no other ”.
