LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) - The organizers of the F1 Las Vegas Grand prix announced plans to rename the race’s paddock building.

The permanent structure near Harmon Avenue and Koval Lane will hold the team garages and separate the pit lane from team club houses and a VIP experience for fans.

Tuesday they said that building is more than 90-percent complete.

“Paddock” is a long-standing term in racing with usage around the world.

But Grand Prix organizers say they’re prioritizing sensitivity to the Las Vegas community.
