Formula 1 has released photos and an Instragram video<\/a> of the current state of construction on the paddock building centerpiecing its Las Vegas Grand Prix Weekend, Nov. 16-18.<\/p>\n

The paddock building, which will eventually house four levels of viewing, restaurants, and F1’s US headquarters, is about 60% complete and on schedule to open in October, a month before the Las Vegas Grand Prix. (Image: F1)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

More than 400 construction professionals have worked 20-hour shifts to get the structure to this point, which F1 officials estimate at about 60% complete. (Race organizers held a VIP-only topping-out ceremony last week.) By the time it gets to its own finish line in October, the paddock complex should have cost $500M to complete — including $240M for the land alone.<\/p>\n

Some internet sources have reported construction delays, but none claim that any might seriously threaten race weekend.<\/p>\n

Located at the corner of Harmon Avenue and Koval Lane, the 39-acre site will serve as the driver pits and the start and finish lines for the big race on Nov. 18.<\/p>\n

The 300,000 square-foot paddock building — a permanent structure with four levels — will include VIP luxury suites, a rooftop viewing platform, and the offices for F1\u2019s new US headquarters, which are currently situated in New York.<\/p>\n

The Las Vegas Grand Prix — which Clark County signed off on allowing to take over the Las Vegas Strip for the next 10 years — will join races in Austin and Miami as the only US stops on F1\u2019s 23-race circuit.<\/p>\n

When there\u2019s no race, there is talk of the Las Vegas paddock complex also functioning as a racing school or convention center.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
