Miami Grand Prix Reveals Its Plan to Become F1’s Most Star-Studded Event

This weekend’s 2026 Miami GP will feature sections around the Miami International Autodrome, such as Little Havana, Miami Beach, and Miami Gardens, offering a feel of what Miami is to the attendees as they get a taste of the local food and drinks. Nowak said:

“The vision of this from the beginning was that we create a campus where fans can go all around and see every part. It’s not very common at F1 races, you’re usually zoned into a certain location and not able to really move around the track. So, that was something from the get-go that was really important from us for us. It’s really an attempt to bring that Disney-like experience to fans from around the world.” [sic]

Nowak added that the aim is to offer an authentic Miami experience to fans while they witness F1 cars zip by at over 200 mph. She added:

“The city of Miami and infusing the Miami culture and into everything that we do (is important to the event). That’s why we create something like what we have at the Hard Rock Beach Club (section). We have a big stage and entertainment for those fans. And then, we go over to the other side of our campus and we’ve got our marina, where we have now a massive MSC Yacht Club cruise ship as a temporary hospitality structure.

“Every part of how we bring the hospitality and guest and fan experience to life and infuse Miami into everything that we’re doing, that’s really one of the key differentiators (from other F1 races). Delivering Miami authentically in a way that’s very luxury and very Miami in its own way. And then of course, obviously delivering a world-class racing event is probably the key pillar.”

What Does the Future of Miami GP Hold?

Miami is slated to remain on the F1 calendar until 2041 following a major contract extension that was announced last year. The stability that a multi-year deal brings has allowed Nowak to form bigger plans for the Miami GP, potentially elevating it to a global event in the future. She said:

“As we continue to grow, our contract with F1 just recently got extended, our vision has continued to expand as well in terms of how and where we want to take this event. So, we’ve got big plans on the horizon to continue to grow this into a even bigger global event around the world and continue to bring Miami into the forefront of everything that we’re doing.”
