Addition of support series to the weekend schedule means fans will enjoy more racing action than ever along the iconic Las Vegas Strip in 2024
FORMULA 1 HEINEKEN SILVER LAS VEGAS GRAND PRIX has confirmed Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli as a support race when the highly anticipated event returns November 21–23. The addition of the Ferrari Challenge series to the racing schedule means ticketed fans will now see two racing series speed down the iconic Las Vegas Strip during the Las Vegas Grand Prix race weekend.
“The addition of the Ferrari Challenge series further demonstrates our commitment to delivering an even bigger and better racing event than ever before,” said Silvia Bellot, VP of Sporting and Race Operations at Las Vegas Grand Prix, Inc. “Last year we made the dream of racing down Las Vegas Boulevard a reality, and we are thrilled that we can now offer fans twice the racing action for the price of a single ticket. Whether it be on or off-track, we are dedicated to providing fans with a truly unforgettable experience.”
“We are very proud and delighted to offer our Ferrari Challenge drivers the chance to compete on a circuit that has become instantly iconic, as part of the weekend that sees Formula 1 starring on the same track,” commented Antonello Coletta, Global Head of Ferrari Endurance and Corse Clienti. “The success of our one-make series is also based on offering customers the opportunity to compete on the best and most spectacular tracks in the world, and the setting provided by Las Vegas is undoubtedly unique in this respect.”
With the FORMULA 1 HEINEKEN SILVER LAS VEGAS GRAND PRIX continuing to build upon fan engagement with interactive experiences, thrilling live music and activations, delicious food and drink offerings and more, attendees can now look forward to a comprehensive weekend of on and off-track activities at the Las Vegas Strip Circuit™.

The Ferrari Challenge is the world’s most renowned single-marque championship, bringing dream cars and drivers together on the world’s most picturesque tracks since 1993. It has grown into a popular competition for those who, not satisfied with just driving their Ferraris on the road, feel the urge to compete in top-level sprint races. The Ferrari Challenge is divided into two continental series, Europe, and North America. A further UK series was added in 2019, followed by the Japanese series in 2023. The different championships are each homologated by the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) and are broadcast in over ninety countries worldwide.
Anticipation for the FORMULA 1 HEINEKEN SILVER LAS VEGAS GRAND PRIX 2024 continues to rise as the F1 season progresses towards what is promising to be an exciting climax. The Las Vegas Strip Circuit™ proved to be a competitive track when it debuted in November 2023, featuring over 180 overtakes, top speeds of over 215 miles per hour and tactical challenges at every turn– making it one of the most exciting races of last season.
