Las Vegas GP unveils neon-inspired winners' trophy design
The Las Vegas Grand Prix has unveiled a new trophy for next weekend's Formula 1 round, inspired by the city and its neon lights. The 3.6kg, 56cm-tall winners' trophy took six months to develop and build and emulates the neon signs associated with the Las Vegas Strip, around which the circuit is based.
The trophy contains 122 lights and has a distinctive V-shaped silhouette, with the bulbs converging toward the point of the V, similar to vintage marquees on Fremont Street that directed attention to the featured performer's name.
Race organisers worked again with Bowen Studios and Ore Designs, who designed the 2023-25 Las Vegas GP trophies, using a 3D model and rendering before developing the finished product. The race takes place on 19-21 November, before the season concludes with the Qatar and Abu Dhabi rounds on the following weekends.
