The Miami Grand Prix made its grand debut on Formula One’s calendar in May 2022, and while it was filled with glitz, glam and plenty of star power, there was one aspect of the track that became a major talking point: the fake marina.
The track was built in Miami Gardens and around Hard Rock Stadium, a land-locked neighborhood. But, inside of Turns 6, 7 and 8, there was a fleet of 10 yachts on top of fake water, a vinyl material with a ripple design that made the boats look as if they were floating.
Tyler Epp, president of the Miami Grand Prix, said the iconic fake marina, Hard Rock Beach Club and the fan zone will all return in 2023. Additionally, 3,000 grandstand seats will reportedly be added to the venue.
