Guests immersed themselves in luxury, with racing simulators and a welcome reception featuring fine dining at Delilah.
Unmatched Grand Prix Circuit Experience
The highlight was a Bugatti parade on the Las Vegas Grand Prix circuit. Owners, donning custom Bugatti race suits and helmets, drove their powerful machines along iconic landmarks like the Sphere and the Eiffel Tower replica at Paris Las Vegas. Two exhilarating laps around the circuit’s fast straights and tight turns captured the essence of Bugatti’s Grand Prix heritage.
Bugatti Managing Director Hendrik Malinowski reflected, “Driving these vehicles on the same track as Formula 1 competitors is an experience beyond compare. It’s a unique moment in automotive history.”
A Scenic Finale
The adventure continued with a scenic drive to Lake Mead, passing through the Valley of Fire’s breathtaking desert landscapes. Guests enjoyed gourmet dining and an awards ceremony at the Wynn before capping off their journey by witnessing the Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix from the exclusive Wynn Grid Club, overlooking the pit lane.
Sascha Doering summed up the event: “Bugatti and Grand Prix racing are inseparable. Sharing this experience with our customers was an unforgettable chapter in Bugatti’s history.”
This celebration was not only a tribute to the Type 35 but also a testament to Bugatti’s enduring connection to the thrill of motorsport and luxury.
