One of the most interesting locations that F1 will be headed this season is Sin City. Las Vegas hosted an F1 race in 1982 known as the Caesars Palace Grand Prix, but this will be the first time the sport returns to gambling Mecca in the desert.

This will be the last of the three F1 races held in the United States this season, marking the first time the U.S. has hosted that many races in a single season. The track this year is supposed to take place across Paradise, Nevada with the track looping through Las Vegas iconic strip. The circuit length with be 6.12 kilometers, making the race length 305.88 kilometers, or 190 miles. Is it too soon to put Vegas on my top Formula 1 race tracks list? I say no!

The seventh round of the 2023 F1 circuit will take place in beautiful Imola, Italy. Commonly referred to as ‘Imola’, the Formula 1 Gran Premio Del Made will be held at the legendary Autodromo Internazionale Enzo e Dino Ferrari, named after legendary Ferrari founder Enzo Ferrari.

The Imola Circuit is a staple in F1, with the venue signed to host F1 events through 2025. Italy is such an iconic venue for the sport of racing and Imola is one of its perfect backdrops. This is a race you will not want to miss.
