Las Vegas Grand Prix Inc. has chosen EquipmentShare to supply equipment and fleet connectivity for site production at the Formula 1 Heineken Las Vegas Grand Prix, according to Rental Equipment Register (RER). EquipmentShare, which is also named an official supplier of the race, will run the work on its own T3 technology platform.
The scope covers the full event cycle. That starts with load-in at the permanent 39-acre Grand Prix Plaza site, continues through the race itself and ends with post-event teardown. This year's race runs November 19-21, 2026, and the organizer has extended its agreement to stage the event in Las Vegas through 2037, RER reported.
What T3 does on the site
As described in the announcement, T3 ties together setup workflows, crews and machines across the race footprint. Three functions stand out:
- Machine health. Real-time telematics and automated diagnostics give site managers a view of each machine's condition, with the aim of catching problems before they cause downtime and push the build off schedule.
- Operator access control. Machines can be restricted so only authorized, certified operators can run them. On a high-security site along the Las Vegas Strip, that is meant to prevent unauthorized use and reduce safety and security risk.
- Shared visibility. EquipmentShare will work directly with the event's production teams on site safety, operational transparency and fleet management.
"Reliability, safety and precision are paramount," said Chris Garnett, vice president of construction operations at Las Vegas Grand Prix Inc., who described the partnership as a way to build, run and maintain the site more efficiently. EquipmentShare founder and CEO Jabbok Schlacks compared the precision of Formula 1 with what the company aims to deliver as the event's equipment supplier.
What was not disclosed
The announcement does not give the contract's value or length, the number or type of machines involved, or whether the access-control features are already in use on the site or will be added for this year's build.
A temporary jobsite with a hard deadline
A street race is an unusual jobsite. Crews build, operate and remove a large temporary operation on a fixed timeline, in public view, on some of the most security-sensitive ground in the city. That makes it a showcase for the pieces of connected operations that rental and contractor fleets ask about most: knowing which machines are healthy, where they are and who is allowed to run them.
