And the best part is that no Las Vegas Strip traffic will be delayed by setting any of this up.
The opening of Grand Prix Plaza’s year-round, consumer facing programming will enable Formula 1 to engage with visitors … and residents alike in new and exciting ways, Las Vegas Grand Prix CEO Renee Wilm said in a statement. Our commitment to the Las Vegas community runs deep, and we could not be happier to bring this collection of unique and immersive experiences to the destination.
On the go-kart track, called F1 Drive, electric karts built to resemble F1 cars will weave through 1,650 feet of the actual pit building garages.
The complex will also house F1X, an interactive experience wherein racing enthusiasts get to design their own F1 cars.

It will also include an F1-themed restaurant and merch store in case fans are worried about walking around Las Vegas without enough credit card debt.
The new attractions at Grand Prix Plaza are expected to open this spring.
