MIAMI — A Miami-Dade Circuit Court judge said Wednesday that he won’t stand in the way of an upcoming Formula One racing event at Hard Rock Stadium after nearby residents expressed concern about noise.
Judge Alan Fine said he won’t hold an injunction hearing before the Miami Grand Prix begins May 6, denying a request by Miami Gardens residents who say noise from the event could cause hearing damage.
Fine said any potential harm to the residents would be avoidable — perhaps by wearing ear plugs or staying inside — and added that the evidence the residents have presented on noise levels is “highly speculative.”
