The contrasts that unite the brilliance of racing in Macau and Las Vegas
OPINION: The streets of gambling heartlands Las Vegas and Macau will ring with the sound of motorsport this weekend, but both events cater for vastly different markets, and it is this which unites them in their appeal
There’s both a nice symmetry, and a complete contrast, to the fact that the world’s two biggest gambling capitals – Macau and Las Vegas – are hosting showpiece races around their streets this weekend.
On the one side, there is unprecedented hype surrounding anything to do with F1 in Las Vegas right now. Sponsors are falling over themselves to capitalise on the eyeballs that will be focused on cars blasting down the Strip and around the Sphere. Casual fans are sure also to pay a bit more attention to the grand prix action than they would on a more normal weekend.
