Miami International Autodrome establishes four new track layouts to enable year-round usage

The Miami International Autodrome has created four new track layouts that will enable the circuit to be used all year round.

Confirmed:

• Miami is looking to attract new competitive motorsport events
• These developments will also allow the circuit to host a variety of corporate functions and other private track activities

Context:

The Miami International Autodrome was created for the Formula One Miami Grand Prix, but the main layout uses public roads so cannot be used all-year round. The new ‘inner loop’ layouts are constructed exclusively on private property which avoids this problem. The track will commence operations for corporate and private events in October 2024.

Comment:

“This is an exciting time to be a motorsports enthusiast here in South Florida,” said Tom Garfinkel, managing partner of the Formula One Miami Grand Prix.

“Our investment into the facility and construction of the inner loop creates five track configurations worthy of the world’s most elite drivers and allows us to engage with the growing motorsports community of South Florida while also respecting the impact to local residents and businesses.

“There’s a thriving car culture here in South Florida and this investment enables us to better serve this growing group of automotive enthusiasts, as well as utilising our campus for more community programming, including education and career opportunities for local youth and students.”

Coming next:

The next Formula One Miami Grand Prix takes place from 2nd to 4th May 2025.
