The Formula 1 Crytpo.com Miami Grand Prix features a new state-of-the-art 3.36-mile track with 19 turns, 3 straights (the longest being just over 3/4 of a mile in length), and a trio of DRS Zones that will test drivers to the limit as they reach top speeds of 198.8 mph. Plus, there are art exhibits, pop-up shops, plenty of authentic Miami-based cuisine, and a wide variety of activations and other race-related fun to keep attendees entertained throughout the races; May 3-5; F1MiamiGP.com.
