Las Vegas Strip Circuit
Las Vegas, United States
A night race down the Las Vegas Strip, run in the coldest conditions of the season on a fast, low-downforce street layout. The combination of cold ambient temperatures and a street surface creates a tyre problem unlike anywhere else.

What the lap demands
Very long straights joined by slow corners, so teams run minimal downforce and top speeds are among the highest of the year. The defining difficulty is getting tyres into their working range at all: in near-freezing night conditions, warming them up is harder than managing wear.
How the racing unfolds
The long straights make passing straightforward and slipstreaming is a significant factor. Cold tyres and a slippery surface produce lock-ups and off-track excursions throughout the weekend.
