The Las Vegas Grand Prix is still more than seven months away but at the corner of Harmon Ave. and Koval Lane, the race is already on to build the massive, state-of-the-art Formula One paddock.
On a recent tour of the bustling construction site, project manager Terry Miller said the goal was to complete work in September, leaving little margin for error with November's inaugural race down the Las Vegas Strip fast approaching."All of the pieces that come in, the logistics of how people move around the site, F1's significant race communications and controls - it all comes back to here," he said.
The race dovetails with Las Vegas' metamorphosis from Sin City to Sports City, which began with the launch of the National Hockey League's Golden Knights in 2017 and continued with the relocation of the WNBA's Las Vegas Aces in 2018 and the National Football League's Raiders in 2020. Hill, who was instrumental in bringing the Raiders to Las Vegas as well as the building of Allegiant Stadium, said the addition of F1 puts a global face on the city's sports boom.
