CXC Simulations, Haas, and former IndyCar driver, Townsend Bell, have teamed up to provide the first real simulated lap of the Las Vegas Grand Prix. According to CXC, it uses "space-age materials and cutting-edge design to create extremely realistic racing simulation products and state-of-the-art control systems."
The lap provides some interesting insights into what the track planners had in mind, and it's basically a high-speed jaunt of Las Vegas' tourist highlights. Fans have a lot to look forward to over the next decade. According to F1, the average speeds are expected to match Monza, also known as the "Temple of Speed."
