Why F1’s Las Vegas GP is keeping its 10 p.m. PT start time for 2024

New York Times  

Stay informed on all the biggest stories in Formula One. The decision to start the race at 10 p.m. was always driven by seeking a compromise that would suit the local fans in Las Vegas and the bulk of F1’s audience watching in Europe on Sunday morning, The timings challenged the entire paddock. Renee Wilm, the CEO of the Las Vegas Grand Prix, said the shift would “help mitigate some of the challenges that the teams had with the timezones” for 2024. “With regard to the actual event itself, on Saturday night, that 10 p.m. start time, we do continue to believe is the right start time,” Wilm told The Athletic. “It also creates the opportunity for our legacy fans in Europe to be able to watch the race with a cup of coffee, just like we do here in America, and allow them to really be part of that weekend.” Wilm said she was “extremely pleased” to see the Las Vegas Grand Prix enjoy such a strong TV viewership even with the late start time, particularly on the East Coast.
