The Formula 1 World Championship is constantly looking for new locations to expand the championship around the world. Next year the Las Vegas Grand Prix will make its debut on the calendarthat the layout is of unknown quantity for the pilots.
In the last few hours, a video of the Alpine team included the reaction of Fernando Alonso and his partner, Pierre Gasly, when they learned the ins and outs of the track which will host a race in the ‘City of Sin’.
“No curve, no curve“Alonso was surprised, who would admit that”I thought slower. it will be super fast“. The Asturian believes he can exceed 370km/h on a circuit where”It looks incredible, but there were only two tracks, before there were four“.
“I think you can overtake anywhere because everything is straight, when you just open DRS there is an opportunity. I was amazed at your speed“The two-time world champion insisted.
The circuit, which is 6.12 km long, will have only 14 curves and three straight, with a top speed estimated at more than 342 km/h, according to organizers. One of the straight seems to have no end.
This will appear from turn 9 to 11, considering that turn 10 is at top speed, without removing your foot from the accelerator, as this is the curve that follows Las Vegas Blvd.
That straight will start in front of the famous The Palazzo and the Treasure Island Hotel, and will reach one of the most famous hotels and casinos in Las Vegas, the Bellagio, just in front of its famous fountain, to yield strong braking. at the intersection with Harmon Avenue, apparently from the track photograph shown by F1.
That is, in total, this line could be approximately 1.4 miles, over 2 kilometers long.. Pure power between casinos, hotels, lighting and maximum luxury.
The track, designed by Hermann Tilke, will be very fast and will bear the recognizable mark of its creator, with 90-degree turns, difficult braking, and plenty of traction.
