To Live and Die in LV

Here's a bit from the NYT write up of new moments in 2023 sports:
Simulations predict that drivers will reach speeds exceeding 210 miles per hour and experience G forces twice that of an astronaut launching into space.
-- Brandon Sneed
And, here's the Las Vegas circuit. As you see from the wiki page, the end of the Strip straight (drivers think they'll top out above 230 with DRS) runs straight into buildings. There's little runoff in street circuits, and Las Vegas is no different. Except by putting a 90 degree lefty at the end of 230.

Somebody's gonna die.
