After Formula 1, Caesars turns to CART

American open-wheel racing continued the Caesars Palace experiment.

The Caesars Palace racing story did not end with Formula 1’s 1982 visit. Motor Sport’s database records a Las Vegas CART race on October 9, 1983. The American series used a short oval configuration rather than the earlier Grand Prix road-course layout.

That distinction changes how the site should be remembered. “Racing at Caesars” describes several events and more than one kind of racing, not a single continuous Formula 1 fixture. The results record provides a starting point for following the drivers and teams who brought American open-wheel competition into the resort’s unusual sporting space.
