We are coming up to the finish line as the F1 Pit Building is sitting at 95 percent complete. The structure—the start and finish line, pit lane, team garages, and high-end hospitality space—will house all of these in the 300,000-square-foot space.
Other temporary grandstands are also being constructed, with crews adding seats to the massive structure next Tuesday.
The building will certainly be busy during race weekend, with around 4,500 people working in the garage area. The people will be composed of crew members of the 10 F1 teams and those associated with the FIA, the governing body of Formula One.
Last weekend in Qatar, the McClaren Racing team set the pit stop record of 1.8 seconds to lift the car, swap out the four tires, and lower the car. Race crews will have a new challenge to beat that pit stop time to shoot for while in Las Vegas.
Before any of the racing action can happen, FIA and race officials will walk the track to make sure everything’s up to the governing body’s strict regulations. There shouldn’t be any surprises, as the FIA has been in contact with race organizers and has made several trips to Las Vegas to check on the progress of the pit building and, of course, the race circuit.
Silvia Bellot, senior director of race operations at the Las Vegas Grand Prix, stated that, up until now, they have been very happy with the results they have seen. Of course, during race week, the FIA will be here. They are all going to be walking the track together, making sure that when the track is finalized, everything is in place and everything is in accordance with the rules and regulations.
The 3-day event will be very exciting. Starting on November 16 and ending with the big race on November 18, For locals who do not have tickets for the event, it is suggested to stay away from the strip area as there will be road closures.
