VEGAS GRAND PRIX


''For the Formula One event, see Las Vegas Grand Prix''
The 'Vegas Grand Prix' is a Champ Car race held in downtown Las Vegas utilizing a temporary street circuit. In July of 2006, the Las Vegas City Council approved a 2.44-mile, 14-turn, counterclockwise street circuit in the downtown area for a Champ Car event.[1]. The first event was held April 8, 2007.
The first American open wheel race in Las Vegas took place in 1954 at Las Vegas Park. The CART series held a Grand Prix race at Caesar's Palace in 1983 and 1984. It used the same temporary course used for the Las Vegas Grand Prix Formula One event.
The Indy Racing League and ChampCar also held open wheel races at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. (See Vegas Indy 300 / Hurricane Relief 400)
