The Miami Grand Prix will have a unique viewing area inside of Turn 12, with a temporary beach club, including pools, luxury cabanas and sun beds.
The race joins the calendar for the first time this year as Formula 1 expands its presence in the United States. Miami will host the fifth round of the 2022 championship on May 8.
The track will circle the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens and the Hard Rock brand will become a ‘founding partner’ of the race, with a unique trackside beach club and launch and after parties hosted at the nearby Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Hollywood.
The beach club will span the area by turns 11, 12 and 13. It will give guests a “uniquely South Florida environment” to enjoy all of the racing action, including a nearly 24,000 square-foot beach, resort-style pools and two levels of luxury cabanas plus special musical performances.
Located just 15 minutes from the Miami International Autodrome, Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Hollywood will host the official kick-off party for the race weekend on May 5, followed by an official after party.
“We are excited to have Hard Rock’s global iconic brand as a founding partner of the Formula 1 Crypto.com Miami Grand Prix,” said Jeremy Walls, Senior Vice President of the Hard Rock stadium and Miami Grand Prix.
“The Hard Rock Beach Club will be a unique experience on the MIA campus, featuring international musical artists, and a high-energy Miami vibe with beach cabanas and resort-style pools.”
Only in Miami….what fun it is going to be!
The fact that there is a race in Miami is utterly disgraceful. The rule should be one country, one race. There are far more countries around the world capable of and willing to hold a Grand Prix than there are events on the calendar, and it is supposed to be a world championship, therefore the series should visit as many of those as possible. This year that means twenty-three countries. Talk of adding events in New York, Chicago, Las Vegas and California is an affront to the dignity of the sport. The pandemic seasons were an exception, and now the time is right to return to normal. Which additionally requires one of Imola and Monza to go. They should alternate if the FIA wish to keep both going long-term.
