Clark County never officially signed an agreement with Formula One for the inaugural race on the Strip.
Now Commissioner Tick Segerblom wants county leaders to drive home the county’s role as they prepare for future Las Vegas Grand Prix races.
Segerblom told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that he has planned a discussion at Tuesday’s Board of Clark County Commissioners meeting.
“It turns out that we never signed a contract, that was all with the LVCVA,” Segerblom said Tuesday in a phone conversation with the Las Vegas Review-Journal. “So everybody keeps saying that we’ve got three years, we never committed to three years, to my knowledge.”
The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority pays $6.5 million per year to put on the race with F1 parent company Liberty Media, through 2025. The two sides have expressed publicly multiple times they hope for the race to continue far beyond the initial three-year agreement.
