. Miami Florida Travel Guide with hotels near venues and tickets.

Here is the Miami Florida Travel and Hotel Guide a city that I love to visit whenever I get a chance. While it no longer hosts its very popular downtown Grand Prix of Americas (street circuit track map below), Miami is still host of any number of Sports and Concert events and even when it's not, the town's an abosulte ball any time of the year. Of particularly enjoyable is the South Beach / Miami Beach area, which offers scenery and luxury in the daytime and hot nightspots all through the night. Enjoy this town of diversity music & flavor. Godspeed on all your travel adventures, Cvetko Ostroznik.

About this Motorsports Venue: Miami Grand Prix Street Circuit

Unfortunately, Miami is no longer a destination for Champ Car or ALMS Racing The Miami area's major motorsport is now focused at Homestead Miami Speedway about 35 miles from downtown Miami. Click link for my travel guide.
Here's the Grand Prix venue information for you motorsport historians and if the town is lucky enough to host a race, say IRL IndyCar Events in the future: I certainly hope so!
Venue Physical Address: Miami Grand Prix Street Circuit. Bayfront Park, Downtown, Miami, FL
Directions: How do we get there? Take 836 East to I-95 South. Take Exit #2 which is Biscayne Boulevard/Miami Avenue. Take the Biscayne Boulevard Exit (US#1) to the end, veer left and you are on US#1 (Biscayne Boulevard) - the south side of the track

Wrap up Oh, Miami! Any time of year there's color, spectacle, great places to eat and play, but on race weekend it turns into a street party more fun, by a couple of laps, than I've ever seen at Monaco. Latin flavour, a great big city street concert, cars roaring around some of the most fashionable real estate in the U.S. Gimme a break. No, gimme a plane ticket. Unfortunately the Grand Prix venue is no longer in use. As a temporary street circuit it was hardly rated as the best in the world by drivers, but for PARTIES (all caps) - the town was a divine choice for a temporary grand prix city!
