The Introduction of the Ferrari Challenge at the Las Vegas Grand Prix

The Las Vegas Grand Prix is set to enhance its 2024 race weekend by including the Ferrari Challenge, a one-make racing series featuring Ferrari 488 Challenge Evo GTs. This addition follows the inaugural Formula One race in Las Vegas last year, which marked the return of F1 to the city after four decades. The initial event faced logistical challenges, including road closures along the famous Strip, which limited the inclusion of support races.

Emily Prazer, the chief commercial officer for F1 and the Las Vegas Grand Prix, noted that the feedback from last year prompted the decision to incorporate the Ferrari Challenge for the upcoming race. This move aims to provide a more dynamic racing experience and address previous concerns about track conditions. The Ferrari Challenge will kick off with practice sessions and races scheduled around the F1 events, allowing fans to enjoy a more comprehensive motorsport experience. Officials are optimistic about expanding support races in the future, reflecting a commitment to enhancing the racing spectacle in Las Vegas.
