It's a spectacle of sport, hospitality, and entertainment that sets the country's most eclectic, artistic destination right where it loves to be - on center stage. A city keen to raise the bar and reveal it's best assets in the spotlight, months of construction, design and planning promise each of Miami's Formual 1 Grand Prix will be better than the last.
Building a City Within a City
Miami's world-class circuit is built throughout the pavement that serves as the parking lot and side streets around Hard Rock Stadium all other days of the year. Multi-floor grandstands, fully staffed kitchens, luxury hospitality suites and secured perimeters are buiit along the track. Here are a few highlights of the essential yet little-known preparations that begin 4 months before the qualifying lap:
Track & Structures: Crews lay down temporary asphalt, erect grandstands, and build multi-level hospitality lounges—similar to how a corporate event requires stage builds, registration areas, and branded environments.
Precision Standards: Every curb, barrier, and platform in F1 is measured to the millimeter.
Cargo & Customs: Air freight is arranged by Formula 1, often requiring 5-7 jumbo jets for transport. Each team's invaluable cargo - vehicles, trailers and equipment is imported from countries around the world, relying on multiple layers of logistics to ensure transport, customs and trackside delivery down to the hour.
Setup Speed: Pit garages and team spaces are fabricated by each team while hospitality interiors are finished to luxurious standards.
Premium Spaces: Every suite, lounge, and terrace is designed for maximum impact intended to surprise and delight the world's most distinguished and well-traveled clientele.
VIP Omakase Experience Details Matter: Décor, lighting, music, food, beverage and entertainment are combined to create highly curated experiences that appear effortless yet exciting, and promise to be unforgettable to guests.
Our team is proud to have played a role in the design & fabrication of this atmosphere since Formula 1 returned to Miami in 2022. Visit us on Instagram to tour some of the VIP areas we've helped build & few get to see,
