F1’s Las Vegas Grand Prix Unveils Neon-Lit Winner’s Trophy

The Las Vegas Grand Prix has unveiled a new trophy for next weekend’s Formula 1 race, inspired by the city and its neon lights.

The winners’ trophy weighs 3.6kg and stands 56cm tall, and it took six months to design and build. It draws inspiration from the neon signs synonymous with the Las Vegas Strip, the circuit that the event is based around.

Featuring 122 lights, the trophy gives a new meaning to “seeing your name in lights” as its design is unique to the Nevada city.

It also features a distinctive V-shaped silhouette, with the bulbs converging toward the point of the V, similar to the way vintage marquees in Las Vegas directed attention toward the featured performer’s name made famous on the city’s Fremont Street.

Race organisers teamed up with Bowen Studios and Ore Designs again – having designed the 2023-25 Las Vegas GP trophies – using a 3D model and rendering before developing the finished product.

The Las Vegas GP takes place on 19-21 November before the F1 season concludes with the Qatar and Abu Dhabi rounds on the subsequent weekends.
