Vegas GP- set to deliver new ‘experience’
If you haven't heard, downtown streets in close proximity to the Fremont Street Experience, including parts of Main Street and Grand Central Parkway, will not be very public during daylight hours Friday through Sunday.
The California is outside of the circuit, but your trip there won't be leisurely.
Speed limits have been raised considerably, over 175 mph on some stretches, because 2.44 miles of city streets have been converted to a race course inaugural Vegas Grand Prix, featuring the Champ Car World Series circuit, takes over Friday morning.
There will be a few times throughout the three-day event, and throughout each evening, when the course will be open for use by vehicles and pedestrians.
For the most part, however, it will be a race track.
Street races are as much spectacle as speed exhibitions, and downtown has never been so racy.
The following are attempts to answer what likely will be common questions until the high-speed circus packs up and leaves town. More at Las Vegas Review Journal
