Las Vegas. The city of lights, entertainment, and ambition. But once a year, it becomes something else entirely - a Formula 1 racetrack.

In this Track Limits special documentary, we go behind the scenes of the Las Vegas Grand Prix, hearing directly from the people who built it. At the center is Emily Prazer, F1’s Chief Commercial Officer and President of the Las Vegas Grand Prix, who led the charge to create F1’s first-ever owned and operated race.

From the billion-dollar economic impact to the engineering, logistics, and cultural transformation of the Strip, this film dives into how the city that never sleeps became home to one of motorsport’s most complex and spectacular events.

Alongside Emily, hear insights from Silvia Bellot (VP of Race Operations, F1 & Race Director, F1 Academy), Terry Miller (General Manager, Las Vegas GP), and Steve Hill (CEO & President, LVCVA), who reveal the unseen challenges of turning Las Vegas Boulevard into a living, breathing racetrack.
