Track Info
Miami International Autodrome - Miami Gardens, USA
Temporary circuit around Hard Rock Stadium - anti clockwise - 19 corners with three DRS zones
When was the track built?
Developed specifically for Formula 1 within the Hard Rock Stadium grounds, the Miami International Autodrome threads service roads and new links around the NFL venue. The goal was a temporary track that feels permanent, with proper kerbs, TecPro and ample marshal posts while the complex hosts other events the rest of the year.
The circuit was fully resurfaced for 2023 to improve grip and racing lines. Subtle tweaks were made around the tight T14 15 chicane and pit entry, and the paddock footprint moved onto the Miami Dolphins field to create a central fan village feel.
When was its first race?
The venue’s first race was the 2022 Miami Grand Prix. Since then it has become a spring highlight in the F1 season with sprint formats used in some years and crowds filling the parkland, marina set and stadium stands.
What's the circuit like?
- High speed street vibe: Long full throttle phases bookend a technical middle sector. The layout rewards straight line efficiency and confidence over kerbs in the stadium complex.
- Three DRS zones: Activation after T9 toward T11, along the run from T16 to T17, and from T19 onto the main straight. Drivers can set up a pass into T17 and finish it at T1 if it does not stick first time.
- Trick chicane at T14 15: A slow left right under the turnpike flyover that punishes track limits and traction. Getting this right determines your launch to T16 and the long drag to T17.
- Grip evolution and heat: Fresh asphalt in 2023 helped, but the surface still rubbers in across the weekend. Heat and humidity test cooling packages and tyre management.
- Benchmark pace: Race lap record 1:29.708. Qualifying poles run in the mid to low 1:26s depending on conditions and era.
Lap records and benchmarks (by series)
- Formula 1 (race lap): 1:29.708 - Max Verstappen, 2023 Miami GP - current 5.412 km layout.
- Porsche Carrera Cup North America: 1:56.693 - Riley Dickinson, 2023 weekend benchmark on 992 GT3 Cup.
- W Series (Formula Regional car): 1:56.406 - Abbi Pulling, 2022 event.
- F1 Academy (F4 spec): 1:59.322 - Bianca Bustamante, 2024 Miami round.
- Ferrari Challenge: Regular North America rounds with 296 Challenge cars setting low 1:3x times on an alternate infield loop during non GP events.
Why go?
A festival style grand prix with big sightlines and a stadium core that keeps everything walkable. The faux marina, fan stages and food courts make it a destination even between sessions, while the long straights and heavy braking zones create genuine passing for race day drama.
Where's the best place to watch?
- Turn 1 grandstands: Starts, restarts and late brakers after the main straight DRS - classic divebombs and switchbacks.
- Turn 11 hairpin: End of the sinuous DRS run from T9. Great for inside feints and cutbacks into the stadium section.
- Turn 17 hairpin: Monster stop at the end of the longest flat out section. If a move does not stick here, watch the re attack into T1.
- Stadium section T12 16: See car placement and kerb work up close as drivers thread the slow chicane and launch toward T16.
- Marina complex T6 8: Fast direction changes with panoramic backdrops and plenty of slipstream formation on practice days.
Not just F1: North American and world series at Miami
Porsche Carrera Cup North America: Big grids and pro lineups produce tight trains and photo finishes into T11 and T17.
F1 Academy: The all female F4 championship brings close pack racing and plenty of wheel to wheel in the stadium complex.
W Series (2022): Launched the circuit’s support bill in its debut year with strong slipstream battles down the back straight.
Ferrari Challenge North America: Exploits the venue’s alternative loops and GP layout for sprint racing with booming V6 turbo sounds through the stadium.
