Draft:Las Vegas Strip Circuit - 2023 layout

The 3.853 mi (6.201 km) street circuit runs counterclockwise and features 17 corners and a 1.2 mi (1.9 km) straight. It starts in a former parking lot which has been bought by Formula One for $240 million and developed into the pits and paddock area, and also contains permanent part of the circuit. The first corner is a hairpin, and after that the course bends slightly left and then into a fast right, transitioning from the permanent circuit to city streets. The cars go 0.5 mi (800 m) down Koval Lane before entering a slow 90-degree right turn and then entering a long, sweeping left turn which encircles the new Sphere arena, before going through a left–right twisty section (a change from the initial design) and then a slightly faster-left turn which transitions onto Sands Avenue. The track then goes through two high-speed bends on Sands Avenue before entering a slow left turn onto Las Vegas Boulevard, otherwise known as the Las Vegas Strip. The 1.2 mi (1.9 km) flat-out section with two straights and a slight sweeping left curve goes past some of Las Vegas's most famous hotels and casinos. The circuit then goes through a tight series of three slow corners onto Harmon Avenue, down a 0.5 mi (800 m) straight before going through a fast left bend to complete the lap and transition back to the permanent part of the circuit after the pits.
