As part of our steadfast commitment to Las Vegas we are thrilled to offer significantly discounted pricing to the locals so that the Grand Prix Plaza is an easily accessible community asset all year long. The Grand Prix Plaza is one of the jewels of F1 in North America and we know it will provide access and experiences that will grow the sport’s fan base.”

Commented Jonathan Linden, Co-Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Round Room Live and Producer of The Formula 1 Exhibition, “These new experiences are as close to an F1 race one can get without being a professional driver. This is the largest-scale F1 exhibition we’ve debuted in North America and there was no better place to do it than the home of the Las Vegas Grand Prix. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or new to the grid this is an inside look at what makes the F1 a global phenomenon – with plenty of thrills along the way.”
