The North American Poker Tour made its return after 12 years just last week, in the lead up to this showpiece race.
An incredible 1,095 players took their seats for the main event, while PokerStars’ online winners from all over the world enjoyed the iconic Las Vegas scene for live poker action.
All this before the Grand Prix festivities via PokerStars’ epic Vegas Gold Pass promotion, including VIP experiences for the racing purists who sought out a limited-edition Vegas Red Spade Pass via various giveaways at PokerStars throughout this season.
Now, alongside the livery designed by Oracle Red Bull Racing fan, Lindsay Palmer, the RB19 wheels will look the part with unique poker chip covers.
The red and white design shows off the iconic PokerStars Red Spade in it’s striking red and white design.

PokerStars also assumed the role of Games Master during Oracle Red Bull Racing’s Grand Tauro USA – featuring a line of games and activities laid on across the four-day journey and included some famous faces and ended with a night of poker.
Rebecca McAdam Willetts, Director of Partnerships & Public Relations at PokerStars said: “We’re honoured to be the first to feature on the team’s wheels, and such an iconic part of a very special livery for the inaugural race in Las Vegas.
“Our wheel reveal marks the pinnacle of our efforts this year to excite and reward fans and customers, and we’re super excited to physically share such an iconic piece of racing memorabilia with our community.
“We’ve truly brought our two worlds together to create two weeks of entertainment for poker fans and F1 fans alike. From our NAPT, to our sponsorship of Oracle Red Bull Racing’s Grand Tauro, to charity poker for fans on race week and incredible VIP experiences, we’re seeing through our commitment to deliver unforgettable memories.
“We believe there’s no partner in the racing world who can do Vegas like we can, and we’re grateful to Oracle Red Bull Racing for allowing us to deliver our vision for the wheel covers and offer fans the chance to get their hands on them.”
