Miami F1 Track Guide

Miami Circuit Map & Guide

A brand-new track for the 2022 season, the Miami circuit wraps around the famous Hard Rock Stadium – home of the Miami Dolphins NFL football team. Purpose-built for Formula One, the Miami circuit has a fast street-circuit feel to it and was won by Max Verstappen from Charles Leclerc in the inaugural race. With a tropical, sunny climate and a party-like atmosphere, expect this race to increase in popularity in coming years.

While each of our Miami Grand Prix Packages comes with a pre-defined grandstand ticket, we’ve created this Miami F1 Track guide to help you choose an alternative.

Miami F1 Track & Grandstand Guide | Miami International Autodrome | Miami Race Track (1)

Grandstand: START/FINISH

Aptly named, the start/finish Grandstand is where you want to be if you are looking to be at the centre of the action for the weekend. Here you will have views of the starting grid and pitlane, as well as the post-race podium celebrations. Directly across from the stand is the famous Hard Rock Stadium, which is easily accessed by the nearby bridge at the final corner (turn 19). There are plenty of food and drink options available directly behind the grandstand. The top rows of the Start/Finish grandstand are also covered, and there are plenty of giant screens visible.

Grandstand: TURN 1

Located on the outside of Turn 1, this grandstand puts you in a prime viewing position to catch all the action that the opening corner provides. At the end of a DRS zone, wheel-to-wheel racing is a high likelihood. The Turn 1 Grandstand also gives you a view of the pit exit. As with the start/finish grandstand, the upper rows are covered from the warm Miami sun and food, drink, toilet and merchandise options are all conveniently located close by.

Grandstand: MARINA

The Marina Grandstands are on the twisty Turns 6 and 7, and are sat a little further back from the track itself. While you won’t see the cars at full speed here, you can appreciate the aerodynamic efficiency of a Formula One car as they navigate this still-quick section of track. Atmosphere-wise, these seats are located next to all the entertainment options on the circuit, with the yacht club directly opposite and accessed via a bridge. The McLaren and Aston Martin team fan clubs are also at the Marina Grandstands, and the Miami city itself is most easily accessed from this stand also.

Grandstand: THE BEACH SOUTH

Whether you want to be sat on the infield or outside the track will define which of the Beach Grandstands you choose, with Beach South sitting on the outside of Turn 11 and a smaller stand than Beach North. At the end of a long straight and DRS zone, Turns 11 and 12 provide an overtaking opportunity, which you will be able to witness from Beach South.

Grandstand: THE BEACH NORTH

Directly opposite Beach South is the Beach North stand, which is on the inside of Turn 12. The first edition of the Miami GP had a lively atmosphere, most notably on the infield section of the track, so if a party atmosphere all weekend long is what you are seeking, Beach North is a very good choice. The Red Bull Energy Station is located just next to the Beach North, and from an on-track perspective, overtaking is always a chance between Turns 11-13.

Grandstand: TURN 18

Located at the penultimate corner, Turn 18 Grandstand gives you excellent views of the final section of track, as well as pit-entry. Seats higher in this stand will give you views of the back straight prior to the approach to this corner, which will be another popular overtaking spot during the race. Behind grandstand are plenty of food and drink options, which is one of the strengths of the Miami circuit. The Mercedes and Ferrari fan clubs are found at the Turn 18 Grandstand, and you are a short walk from the main fanzone.

My husband and I had a wonderful experience with The Grand Prix Tours. The accommodation was amazing, communication with this company was brilliant when I had a few questions and the seating for the actual Grand Prix qualifying and race day was perfect, as we got to see all the overtaking on the corner. I would highly recommend this company and look forward to using them again in the future!!

Just got back from the Hungarian Grand Prix. I booked this as a surprise for my partner’s birthday and GPGT were great from the start. I wouldn’t have known where to start arranging this myself but everything was organised, communication great and everything happened exactly as they said it would! hotel was nice, all transfer pick ups were on time and seats at the Grand Prix were great! I booked the flights separately myself but was really pleased when GPGT still sorted airport transfers for us. They made it a simple, stress free and very enjoyable weekend!

Freshly back from a superb trip to the Spanish Grand Prix - what a weekend and experience! All arrangements from point of booking, pre-travel, and the weekend itself, were seamless and very well coordinated.Our grand stand seats were spectacular, in front of the starting grid and pits, with brilliant views of all the action.We’re already planning which race to book for next year. Thanks to everyone on the GPGT team for making it a very easy and unforgettable experience 🙂

So pleased to have chosen GPT for F1 Monaco - they were really responsive to all emails and phone calls. The advice for hotel in Nice walking distance to the rail station was really perfect (23 minutes to central Monaco). Hotel was great choice for this weekend as we were only there to sleep and it was comfortable clean with helpful staff. Transfers from airport to hotel and return were very efficient and professional - they anticipated late arrival and departure so were ready and waiting to take us both ways in high quality vehicles. Our seats were in one of the main grandstands (K 4) with great views of the track and harbour with a huge screen opposite to see all the action around the track. It was a big decision choosing the company to supply the Grand Prix experience, I read many reviews and GPT stood out, very happy to have chosen them.

We chose GPGT for our 1st F1 experience and we were not disappointed. Bahrain was an incredible experience everything went like clockwork. Well done to the team at GPGT’s we are very much looking forward to our next event.

Having never done a package for a GP I wasn’t sure what to expect. I need not have worried. From the start the communication was excellent with clear instructions regarding flights, transfers and hotel.The airport transfers were easy and the driver was professional and attentive and the hotel was out of this world. The circuit transfers were easy and informative with a local guide who gave us information on local areas of historic importance and local facts and recommendations for nice places to eat.I would recommend this company to anyone who is looking to attend a GP abroad. You won’t be disappointed.

From the moment we booked our Monaco GP tour until the end of the trip, we had nothing but a brilliant experience with this company. Our initial trip was postponed due to Covid and Simon and Jay were always at the end of the phone to answer any questions and reassure us. As for the trip itself, everything was well thought out - from the flight and transfers to the hotel in Nice (clean, comfortable and an easy walk to the train station so we could easily get to Monaco and back). We upgraded our tickets for the Grand Prix after chatting to Simon about the kind of view we wanted and they were superb - right in the middle of the action. It was a once-in-a-lifetime trip that we will never forget and we can’t wait to book our next F1 tour with the company . Thanks all

Like to say a massive thanks to John and the team for a totally hassle free Monaco F1 weekend.Start to finish they are totally professional, quick to respond to emails, and providing all the relevant information required before flying out!The trip itself went without any issues, accommodation chosen in Nice, with its roof top bar, was a perfect way to relax after full day trying to pack everything in, and only a 10-15 minutes walk to/from the station.Our chosen seats which gave access to the mooring pontoons of the big super Yacht’s, with live music that filled the gaps between races. We also got to see plenty of action, (Ricardo’s & Schumacher’s crashes, plus others over the weekend), you could also at a distance see some of the pit activity and even the podium presentations, (depending on the seats we had each day). It had the big screen central to our stand (P), so you didn’t miss any action.Thanks again for a totally awesome F1 experience.Regards Dave
