The Miami International Autodrome reflects this feeling of “always larger, always more imposing” so typical of our rican friends. It must be recognized that the locals have done things well. The track is even permanent, only a very small portion being returned to the motorway network. With the exception of the two months reserved for the NFL, the track lined with turquoise clearances has already found its customers. The Ferrari Challenge will soon stop there and is even able to welcome Indycar or IMSA.
The Colossal Hard Rock Stadium, in the heart of the circuit, reserves an impressive welcome for teams and the media. Journalists thus have a breathtaking view of the paddock, planted in the lawn of the Dolphins, the local team of NFL. In the gigantic stands, some spectators even take place to cheer the pilots with each of their appearance.
Let’s come to the public. In the midst of the celebrities present en masse, it is to note that the Americans indeed bitten in the hook. Miami is, it is true, the second sports car market after California thanks to the passion of the Latin community very present in the “Magic City”. The pilots, raised to the rank of stars thanks to Netflix, are warmly acclaimed by the spectators. But the one who is by far the king of the applaudimeter is by far Lewis Hamilton. Rockstar of the Plateau, the Briton has always been close to the US public and in particular the African Americans, who make it good.

From excess, there is obviously question in the in-books of the circuit. In order to satisfy a more family -friendly audience who wants to attend the GP to live an atypical experience, the animations are in Gogo with many DJ sets, air shows and the solemn American hymn. If everyone knows the false marina without waters with its boats floating on nothing, the circuit has a beach part with a swimming pool. We saw young people slightly dressed in waddling their feet in the water.
Welcome to Miami, comme dirait Will Smith !
