Driving to the Miami Grand Prix? You might be parking at Hard Rock — Casino, not Stadium
Be ready to walk up to 1.1 miles from your parking space or take a shuttle if you’re going to the weekend activities at the Formula 1 Crypto.com Miami Grand Prix.
Saturday, in addition to afternoon qualifying for Sunday’s main show, there will be a Formula 1 Sprint race of 30 minutes at noon; Porsche Carrera Cup North America qualifying in the morning and race in the afternoon; and F1 Academy qualifying in the morning.
Here’s how to get there and where you’ll be finding your personal pit box.
Getting to your parking space
With the Florida’s Turnpike 2X entrances and exits part of the race course, you can’t use any of that in any direction until 10 p.m. Sunday.
Much of the parking traffic is getting funneled to Northwest 27th Avenue so expect that to look like rush hour for the next few days. Leave yourself time for car volume and drivers not exactly sure where they’re going because parking lots aren’t the same as for a Dolphins game or the Miami Open.
