The 2026 Las Vegas Grand Prix (November 19–21) is set to be the most technologically advanced race in Formula 1 history. With cars hitting speeds over 210 mph down the Strip, you need more than just a ticket to truly experience the spectacle. You need the right gear to capture the action and stay connected in the heart of the neon madness.
At Best Deal Office, we specialize in the high-performance refurbished tech required for a world-class event. Here is how to build your 2026 race-day kit.
1. Capture the Speed: The Zoom Advantage
F1 cars move too fast for a standard smartphone camera. To get a clear shot of a late-braking maneuver at Turn 14, you need optical zoom and high-speed shutter capabilities.
-
The Pro Pick: The iPhone 16 Pro Max or the newer iPhone 17 Pro are essential for their 5x Optical Zoom.
-
Why it matters: In 2026, Apple Intelligence features like "Clean Up" allow you to instantly remove distracting fence lines or photobombers from your track-side shots, while the dedicated Camera Control button lets you lock focus on a car in milliseconds.
2. Protect Your Hearing: Noise vs. Commentary
F1 engines reach nearly 140 dB, which can damage hearing in seconds. However, you still want to hear the live race commentary and team radio.
-
The Setup: Combine high-fidelity earplugs with Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones.
-
The Benefit: Use Transparency Mode to balance the roar of the hybrid V6 engines with the live audio from the official F1 app, giving you the same data as the engineers in the pit lane.
3. Stay Connected: Navigating the Strip
With over 300,000 fans expected, cell towers will be pushed to the limit.
-
Track Data: Use a refurbished iPad mini (6th Gen) with cellular data. Its compact size fits in a small crossbody bag, making it the perfect second screen for watching live telemetry and pit-stop strategies while you watch the physical race.
-
Power Strategy: Between 4K video recording and using the Las Vegas Grand Prix App, your battery won't last until the 10:00 PM race start. We recommend carrying a high-capacity MagSafe power bank to keep your iPhone at 100% through the final podium celebration.
