High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The 1981 Caesars Palace Grand Prix was a Formula One race held on October 17, 1981 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The United States again hosted the final round of the Formula One season in 1981, but in Las Vegas, not at the Watkins Glen Grand Prix Course in upstate New York. After twenty years on the GP schedule, the organizers at Watkins Glen were unable to fulfill financial obligations for 1980, and so a track was created on the grounds of the Caesars Palace hotel. The track provided speeds averaging over 100 mph, and with the counter-clockwise direction straining the drivers' necks unusually, it was clear the drivers' endurance would be tested in the extreme all weekend. Even in practice, Piquet suffered noticeably and became physically sick; he later got a 90-minute massage from Sugar Ray Leonard's masseur to help sort out his troubled back and "Las Vegas neck."
