Formula 1 is making its long-awaited return in the Nevada desert with the Las Vegas Grand Prix this weekend, but while racing fans are eager to see what the new street circuit can offer, things aren’t seamless.
The race is get to begin at 10 p.m. local time, which means 1 a.m. ET, and then, aside from the race being in the middle of the night for much of the U.S., there’s also a potential issue with the general temperatures in the desert in November.
But it’s not all bad! Although Formula 1 formally apologized to the city and people of Las Vegas for the massive disruptions because of the race, the street circuit itself looks pretty cool.
And this nighttime drone shot is even cooler, showing off the course with the Vegas strip and lights in the background:
For the Las Vegas GP, drivers will complete 50 laps around the 6.201-kilometer circuit, which includes parts of the Las Vegas Strip. The 17-turn course will take drivers past iconic venues like Caesars Palace, the Bellagio and the Venetian.
F1’s Las Vegas Grand Prix is set for Sunday, Nov. 19 at 12:55 a.m. ET on ESPN.
