● Book fairThe 2026 Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix runs May 1–3, 2026 at the Miami International Autodrome, the purpose-built circuit surrounding Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens. It's the 5th running of the race, which debuted in 2022 with a 10-year contract extending through 2031.
The circuit is 3.36 miles with 19 turns and 3 DRS zones, covering 57 laps for a total of 191.6 miles. The 2025 race was won by Oscar Piastri ahead of teammate Lando Norris and George Russell, marking McLaren's dominant form. Last year's event drew approximately 275,000 weekend attendees.
What makes F1 transportation unique: Rolling road closures around Hard Rock Stadium and the 199th Street corridor. Paddock Club guests need separate credentialing. Sponsor hospitality is scattered across off-circuit venues — hotels in Aventura, Sunny Isles, and downtown Miami all generate parallel transport demand. Weather is humid; arrivals need climate-controlled vehicles from the moment they step out.
What we provide for F1 weekend: Paddock Club guest service with credentialed access to stadium drop-off zones, hotel transfers from Miami Beach / Brickell / Aventura / Sunny Isles, corporate hospitality shuttles, Hard Rock Stadium → South Beach evening runs, and airport return transfers on Monday morning. We pre-stage vehicles by Friday morning and run 24/7 dispatch through Sunday night.
Booking window: Lock bookings 90+ days in advance for standard vehicles, 120 days for Sprinter and Rolls-Royce. F1 pricing applies +35–50% above standard rates. Request F1 package quote →

Dedicated account managers available during Basel week.
