F1 buys 191 million pound piece of land in Las Vegas for pits and paddock

The next step in the development of the Las Vegas Street Circuit where the Las Vegas GP will be held starting in 2023 has been taken. Liberty Media has purchased the piece of land where the pits and paddock will be located.

FOX 5 Las Vegas can confirm that Liberty Media has bought 39 acres of land for some 240 million dollars (191 million pound). A representative revealed that it is about the part of the circuit where the pit lane and paddock will be built.

In announcing the completion of the sale, Liberty Media revealed that they are currently looking at several design options. A choice has not yet been determined and Liberty Media would not comment on further development plans.

The Las Vegas Grand Prix will be the third race in America after the United States GP in Austin and the Miami Grand Prix. What is special about the race in 'Sin City' is that it will probably be held on the night of Saturday to Sunday.
