Some fans have described the new street race as "epic" while others warn the track "doesn't look good". F1 has raced in Las Vegas twice in the early 1980s but the new layout will be the first time cars take to the famous strip.

The circuit will take in a host of famous locations to become a new crowning jewel in the sport's calendar. The track will consist of 14 corners with F1 bosses boasting speeds of more than 200mph.
