2026 Las Vegas GP track map: three Straight Mode zones

The updated 2026 Las Vegas Grand Prix track map marks three Straight Mode zones on the 6.201 km Strip Circuit. Both Overtake Mode markers sit just after Turn 16, where cars accelerate away from the chicane towards the final corner.

Where are the three Straight Mode zones?

• Turns 4 to 5. The first zone runs along the Sector 1 straight towards Turn 5.
• Turns 12 to 14. The longest marked zone follows the Strip through the Turn 13 sweep and ends before braking for Turn 14.
• Turns 16 to 17. The final zone runs along the straight after the chicane and ends before Turn 17.

Straight Mode opens flaps on both the front and rear wings to reduce drag. Any driver can use it in the designated zones when the system is enabled, regardless of the gap to the car ahead. Las Vegas has one more zone than Interlagos had for the São Paulo Grand Prix.

Where does Overtake Mode become available?

The detection point is just after Turn 16. In the race, the system measures the gap to the car ahead there. If the driver is inside the FIA’s detection gap, Overtake Mode becomes available at the activation point a short distance farther along the same straight, provided the system is enabled.

Overtake Mode changes how the car can deploy electrical power, helping it sustain higher speeds. A driver close enough through the chicane can use that assistance on the run towards Turn 17, where Straight Mode also reduces drag.
