The Las Vegas Strip Circuit is a 6.201 km night race run on the actual roads of Las Vegas, with the cars flat out down Las Vegas Boulevard, the Strip itself, past the Bellagio, Caesars Palace and the Sphere. It is one of the fastest street circuits Formula 1 has ever raced on.
Because the lap runs on streets people already know, the geographic map is the whole point: you can see exactly where on the Strip the cars hit their top speed and where they brake back down to walking pace for the slow corners.
Speed map
The long blast down Las Vegas Boulevard shows up as a continuous run of red, the cars holding flat out for the better part of two kilometres before the heavy braking zone at the end. The lap is essentially two long straights linked by slower technical sections, which is why Las Vegas produces some of the highest top speeds of the year.
Speed here is modeled from track curvature rather than measured telemetry, so read the colours as the shape of the lap: long red straights, hard braking, slow corners, repeat.
Corner by corner
The Las Vegas lap has 17 corners, most of them numbered rather than named. Tap any marker to see the modeled apex speed.

Watch a lap
At 1x the replay runs to a realistic pole pace of about 1 minute 33 seconds. Watch how long the marker holds its top speed down the Strip compared with how briefly it is slow in the corners, the opposite balance to Monaco.
Where overtakes happen
The big overtaking opportunity is the braking zone at the end of the Las Vegas Boulevard straight, where DRS and slipstream down the Strip set up late lunges. The markers below are illustrative for v0, not real timing data.
Data & how to read it
Las Vegas has run since 2023, so real Formula 1 telemetry exists for it. For v0 the speed shown here is still a curvature-derived proxy, computed from the lap geometry; a measured pole lap maps into this same view when the telemetry pipeline is connected.
