F1 Karting karts
The F1 Drive karts have a maximum speed of 30 miles per hour. The karts have LCD steering wheel displays that keep drivers informed of lap times, interval gaps between drivers, boost levels, track flag alerts, and more.
Drivers receive real-time messages from a virtual Race Engineer via helmet communications systems, including track updates, DRS and ERS cues, fast lap times, and overtaking strategies. Drives also hear engine audio from recordings captured during the 2023 F1 season.
The F1 Drive karting track
The F1 Drive karting track is the only karting experience in the world built on an existing F1 circuit, which is why F1 Drive and Grand Prix Plaza close seasonally in late summer to be ready for the Las Vegas Grand Prix in November.
The f1 Drive track, which also runs through LVGP F1 pit garages, is 1,696 feet long and is designed to test drivers, with 31 turns. Drivers will encounter a variety of track segments, including hairpins, chicanes, double apexes, constant-radius turns, and technical sections.
