MIAMI GRAND PRIX PREVIEW:
FLEXJET AS YOUR F1 PRIVATE JET CONNECTION
April 30, 2024
Formula 1® racing is an ultra-high-octane sporting spectacle that attracts fans from all over the world. Its yearly calendar of events often takes place in locations across the globe as its influence and interest continues to grow. Each Grand Prix event adds a new chapter to its legacy. It’s not just a race; it’s a celebration of speed, skill, and the sheer thrill of the premier motorsport.
All is set for this redlining showcase, May 3-5, 2024, that will once again take place against the backdrop of the beautiful South Beach and Biscayne Bay shorelines. This stop in the calendar plays an apt theatre to one of the most consequential racing weekends in its United States expansion.
So, join Flexjet trackside once again for the Formula 1® Miami Grand Prix at the Miami International Autodrome, as part of the 2024 FIA Formula One World Championship – the world’s most prestigious motor racing competition.
TAKE YOUR PRIVATE JET TO THE F1 MIAMI GRAND PRIX
Formula 1 racing was inaugurated in 1950 and its origins can be traced back to Europe’s legendary prewar Grand Prix races. Today, Formula 1 is the top class for open-wheel, single-seater formula racecars and it boasts the world’s fastest open-road racecars.
The current teams are sponsored by some of the most renowned automotive brands such as Ferrari, Mercedes, McLaren, Alfa Romeo, BMW and others. The Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), the governing body of motorsports worldwide, sanctions the championship series.
The annual race is held on a 3.36-mile semipermanent track at the Autodrome on the grounds of Miami’s famed Hard Rock Stadium, home to the NFL’s Miami Dolphins. The racecourse features 19 turns and three straightaways that enable drivers to reach 200 MPH.
This year, Flexjet is set to host aircraft Owners and clients in the exclusive shaded and open-air Start/Finish Suites. With over 30 flights anticipated for the weekend for Flexjet alone, the annual Miami race is now a popular destination for private jet traffic – like the draw of The Masters and the Super Bowl.
Here, guests can take in all the high-octane action with an impressive panoramic view of the Paddock, starting grid and the most extensive straightaway on the track – an unrivaled perspective on this third race in the 10-year Formula 1 World Championship circuit series, to be certain. Guests throughout the duration of the weekend will also be treated to a rotating offering of food and refreshments from award-winning Chef Michael Schwartz.
