Amid drizzly, chilly weather Friday night, thousands of Formula One fans came out to the Strip for the second day of the Las Vegas Grand Prix weekend.

“This place is awesome!,” exclaimed Jackson Kuhns, a tween who convinced his family to pack their bags and travel from Pittsburgh to Las Vegas for Formula 1.

This is Jackson’s first F1 race ever after he became interested in the sport last year. Now, it’s become a family affair, with Jackson, his three siblings and parents all in town for the event.

On Friday, Jackson could be found at the F1 Arcade inside the Forum Shops using one of their driver simulators to go head-to-head with his dad Matthew.
