This weekend's racing schedule can best be summed up in 2 words: Formula One
If you're an F1 fan, let us give you some of the best advice you will ever want to hear this weekend: make coffee -- and LOTS OF IT!
As we prepare for the first F1 race in Las Vegas in over 40 years, all practices, qualifying and the race itself on a street course through downtown Sin City and the adjacent Strip, will be under the lights.
The craziest time will be the race itself. Depending on where you're at in the U.S., Canada or Mexico, the green flag will drop either early Sunday morning (as in around 1 a.m. ET) or late Saturday night (as in 10 p.m. PT/Vegas time).
In addition to having lots of coffee on hand, you might want to think about taking a nap or two during the day Saturday so you'll be able to watch things from start to finish, even though finishing potentially means in the middle of the night.
Also, as they say in the TV business, we have one additional programming note for you: because F1 -- which is basically the last major racing series still going as we close in on the off-season -- is off next weekend, there will not be a weekend race schedule right here on AutoRacingDigest.com.
But have no fear, we'll be back with one last weekend schedule the following week, just in time for the F1 season-ending event in Abu Dhabi.
For now, though, it's time for F1's version of what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas this weekend, baby!
