The new Las Vegas festival combines racing personalities, interactive experiences and driver tryouts, reflecting a broader effort to make motorsport more accessible to fans.
Fan Prix will bring a free motorsport and lifestyle festival to Resorts World Las Vegas during Race Week, combining celebrity appearances, interactive exhibits and automotive culture across two days. The event is scheduled for November 21–22, 2025, with programming centred on racing, technology and fan participation. Its partnership with Saleen adds nationwide tryouts for Dream to Drive, an unscripted competition series offering aspiring drivers the opportunity to compete for a professional racing contract.
The festival is designed to extend motorsport beyond the conventional race-day audience. Fan Prix describes itself as a fan-focused experience built around immersive exhibits, interactive technology and access to athletes and influencers, with admission open to the public. Resorts World provides the venue, while complimentary self-parking is intended to make attendance easier for local visitors.
Steve Saleen and Molly Saleen will host the Dream to Drive tryouts, bringing the competition’s search for everyday dreamers and emerging talent into the festival environment. Other scheduled attractions include Romain Grosjean’s Garage 28 racing hub, appearances by driver Nicole Havrda, panel discussions, meet-and-greets and photo opportunities. Visitors will also find vintage vehicles, vehicle-focused art and memorabilia from Atomic Motors Classic Cars & Motorcycles, alongside racing simulators, merchandise activations and a wellness area.
The programme also illustrates how motorsport events are expanding their use of digital and broadcast elements. KTNV Channel 13, the festival’s local broadcast partner, will feature the Romain AI Experience on its website, allowing users to interact with a virtual version of Grosjean. The platform is built with fan-engagement technology from Zooly.ai, giving people unable to attend in person a separate way to connect with the event.
Additional hospitality and entertainment layers include the AAA Loyalty Lounge, a VIP space for AAA members and AAA Visa Signature credit cardholders, with private driver access and giveaways. Poker players can also take part in the Big Deal for One Drop tournament at Resorts World’s Allē Lounge on 66, supporting the One Drop Foundation’s safe-water initiatives. Fan Prix is scheduled to operate from noon to 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, positioning the festival as a broad, accessible addition to Las Vegas’s racing calendar.
