Speed Vegas Motorsports Park is a motorsports complex located in Las Vegas. The company operates the Exotics Racing track, which rents supercars, as well as Vegas Superkarts and Vegas Off-Road Experience.[1]

History

[edit | edit source]

Speed Vegas was founded in 2016.[2] The company operated independently until 2021, when it merged with its competitor Exotics Racing to form Speed Vegas Motorsports Park. As part of the merger, Romain Thievin of Exotics Racing joined Speed Vegas as CEO.[3] Thievin co-owns the track with Henrique Cisneros, Mike Self and Sam Schmidt.[4] As part of the merger process, the facility and its track were upgraded to add improved safety features, including gravel traps, asphalt run-off areas, and safety barriers.[3]

The company hosts events and competitions like the EXR Time Trial World Challenge, which over 72,000 drivers have participated in. During the inaugural 2023 Las Vegas Grand Prix, Speed Vegas hosted the "Speed City" event. The event featured a sunset race between Lewis Hamilton and George Russell in the Mercedes-AMG coupe.[5]
