Las Vegas previously featured two F1 races, known as the Caesars Palace Grand Prix, in 1981 and 1982.

Meanwhile, Nelson Piquet and Keke Rosberg clinched the championship in ‘81 and ‘82, respectively, with fifth-place finishes. Now it’s the time for a new circuit that will put the driver’s talents to the test.
