Petronas\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e1) It is a fast circuit.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e This track is 6.2 km, or 3.85 miles, per lap and includes some very fast sections.  One that we are most excited for is between turn 12 and turn 14 - a long straight almost 2 km long that ends at a near 90 degree left turn.  This should provide for some exciting speeds and dramatic overtakes, however we are also concerned about driver safety due to this extreme corner.  The drivers will be going from speeds of 310 kph down to 90 in a blink.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur next favorite sequence will be near the starting line that begins with a strong left hairpin and a set of S turns to set up for a medium straight, again ending in a near 90 degree turn.  Turns 1-4 should be a great area to spectate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTurn 6-9 are around the new \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sphere_(venue)\"

close to full throttle and will absolutely be a challenge for the teams to trade off on downforce vs. higher speed capability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003ca

Waltzing on the Strip\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFamous for its lights, neon, and various ways to spend your hard earned money, the Las Vegas strip will be a prominent feature on this street circuit track.  It's hard to believe that taxis won't be able to drop off their clients for at least a week surrounding this track with all of the road closures and setup, however with such a huge infusion of cash to the city and surrounding casinos and venues it is easy to see the justification.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003ca
