WHEN Formula One takes over Las Vegas this weekend, it won’t be for the first time. The track was disliked by drivers due to its layout and was considered the “least appealing” of all the races on the circuit at the time. The cars did produce exciting races on the track, that saw Alan Jones win in 1981 and Michele Alboreto claim victory in 1982. The track in Vegas remained however and was developed into an oval circuit for Indycar racing. This only lasted for a couple of years and the track was last raced on in 1984. It is not the only abandoned F1 track with the Buddh International Circuit in India also not in use.
