Okay, so, I’ve been messing around with this F1 Vegas track map thing, and let me tell you, it’s quite a ride. I’m a big F1 fan, you know, and getting to actually drive on these tracks, even if it’s just virtually, is a blast. But this Vegas track, it’s something else.
First off, I started by looking up the track layout online. This Las Vegas Strip Circuit, that’s what they call it. It’s a wild one, running anticlockwise. I found out that it has 17 corners, can you believe it? And a straight that’s like, 1.92 kilometers long. That’s insane! I mean, it’s one of the fastest tracks in F1, or at least, so I heard. Oh, and get this, the average speed is around 144 miles per hour. Crazy, right?
So, I began driving virtually, trying to get a feel for it. They say it’s not easy, and boy, they weren’t kidding. I focused a lot on turns 12 to 14, that’s where you go down the Las Vegas Boulevard. It’s pretty cool, but tricky. And the start, oh man, the cars line up all the way back around turn 17, and then it’s a mad dash to the first corner. I bet there’s a ton of action there on the first lap in a real race.
- I read somewhere that they built a whole new section just for this track.
- Apparently, F1 bought this land that was just sand and grit before, and now it’s part of this awesome track.
- The pit lane is right there on the left as you come out of this new section.
Exploring Other Ways
I also tried something else, to learn more about the track and its surroundings. I looked into the Las Vegas Monorail. It’s this train thing that goes around, and I thought it would be cool to see how close it gets to the track. It’s about 6 kilometers long and has seven stations. Sounds like a fun way to get around, especially during the race weekend. The monorail runs along the east side of The Strip, and trains come pretty often, like every 4 to 12 minutes. This track is 3.8 miles long with 17 high-speed turns, so it is interesting. And two DRS zones, just wild.
In the end, I realized this track is more than just a race circuit. It’s like a whole experience, you know? Driving it, even virtually, gave me a new appreciation for what the F1 drivers do. And learning about the area around it, like the monorail and stuff, it just adds to the whole vibe. It’s not just about the speed, but also about the place, the city, the energy. I definitely achieved a better understanding of this track, that’s for sure.
So yeah, that’s my little adventure with the F1 Vegas track map. It was a lot of fun, and I learned a bunch. I can only imagine what it’s like to be there in person, with the cars roaring and the crowd going wild. Maybe one day, right?
Alright, that’s it for now, guys. See ya!
