Yeah, that will be interesting to see how it will be done. I already told my wife that we should go and book a room that faces the strip. I'm guessing they will use the same barriers used at the other street circuits. And people will use the walkway overpasses to go from one side to the other.

Cool top down view of the track vs. the old Caesar's Palace layout. (Stolen from Reddit).

Turn 10 is fake news. It's just a suggestion to tilt the steering wheel a bit.

I asked my wife if she wanted to do Vegas for Thanksgiving in 2023 and do this and she actually thought it would be pretty cool.

I wonder if I can have my yacht flown in and dropped in front of the Bellagio for the weekend.

I thought I read somewhere that it was going to be around Thanksgiving weekend but can't find any reference now... I could've been mistaken. We'll see.

Sorry. I thought it was announced. In Vegas it's all the locals are talking about. Guess the dates are not official?

No worries. I really wanna go, but don't wanna book something on the wrong date.

It seemed somewhat plausible since he made a comment earlier in the week to the tune of "I was thinking of retiring, but with the Vegas race, I am definitely staying in"

honestly surprised they'd let that device inside a helmet crash/impact structure in light of what happened to Schumacher with his go-pro and skiing accident..

I found that article fascinating, that many young driver's including Kevin Harvick's son want to be Formula 1 drivers and not Indy or NASCAR drivers. That's how much "Drive to Survive" has taken F1 into the stratosphere in the US

Very different situations altogether.

I don't see how IndyCar will succeed at this point. F1 is poised to just swallow it up. Might be good to have IndyCar as a farm system for American drivers, but it's hard to imagine it will ever rival F1.

I guess I don't see how F1 can effectively wipe out the talent in NASCAR with only 20 seats to fill + reserve drivers.

Sure, people may not want to watch Indy when they can get their fill of F1 driving but NASCAR is completely different and I struggle to see how they lose that much talent to F1....

I think the glamour of F1 outshines the rustic/redneck image of NASCAR. IMO, nascar is facing an image issue and kids want to chase the brightest lights. Just look at baseball vs football and Connor Weigman, or Kyler Murray, Pat Mahomes.

While I think it has helped, I think it's lazy to attribute it to drive to survive. Overall, F1 is just more entertaining. Not to mention a race takes an hour and a half vs a 3+ hour nap inducing nascar race…..

Drive to survive got people (like me) to watch F1. F1, itself, got me and kept me hooked.

Fair points. I get that F1 is the premier league and what all future drivers will strive for but again just seems very limiting as far as opportunities and surely there will still be good drivers working towards NASCAR series....the one thing I wonder about NASCAR is could they look to shorten races or change up the structure a bit to make them more "exciting"? Not sure...
