Miami International Autodrome is located in the Miami Gardens area of Florida’s second most-populated city. The circuit is set out around the Hard Rock Stadium, home of the Miami Dolphins. It is around 25km north of Downtown Miami. The Hard Rock Stadium is Miami’s largest sporting venue, so the circuit already has well-established public transport links.
Airports near Miami International Autodrome

How to Get to Miami International Autodrome
Metrorail / Metrobus
The cheapest and easiest way to get to Miami International Autodrome is to use public transport. While the Metrorail service can take you from Miami International Airport into the heart of the city, the Metrobus service serves all of the city’s major entertainment centers – including Hard Rock Stadium. The Metrobus service number 297 is the one which passes by Hard Rock Stadium. The route is accessible from Earlington Heights Station, with a journey time of under 20 minutes. Brownsville Station and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Station are also on this route. Journey times from these stations to Miami International Autodrome are 25 minutes. The Metrorail service operates from 05:00 to 00:00 seven days a week and, paired with the Metrobus, is a great way of getting around the city during your stay in Miami. You can read more about the sights and attractions in the city in Off-Track Activities.
Brightline Inter-City Trains
You can also ride the Brightline train from as far afield as Orlando to attend the Miami Grand Prix. The closest station to Miami International Autodrome is at Aventura Station. From there you can travel via a shuttle bus to Miami International Autodrome. From the south, you can ride the Brightline from Miami Central Station to Aventura Station. From the North, you can ride the Brightline from Orlando, West Palm Beach, Boca Raton and Fort Lauderdale to Aventura Station. Shuttles travel from Aventura Station to Lot 16 of Miami International Autodrome from 11:00-20:30 on Friday (May 3), 09:30-19:30 on Saturday (May 4) and 09:30-19:30 on Sunday (May 5). From Lot 16, it’s a short walk to Gate 3 where you can enter the circuit. (Check the campus map.) For more information and to purchase Brightline train tickets, click here.
Taxi
With reasonable prices, taking a taxi or sharing a ride is another convenient way to make your way to Miami International Autodrome. You can ask your hotel to help arrange or get in touch yourself with one of the following reputable companies: Yellow Taxi Miami, Super Yellow Taxi and Miami Taxi Services. There are plenty of taxi stands in downtown Miami. A list of locations of taxi stands can be found here. Tipping is optional but is generally expected for good service. At the end of each day on Miami Grand Prix weekend, taxis are available on 199th Street outside Gate 4 at Miami International Autodrome (Approximate location / Campus Map). Taxis cannot be booked and are available on a first come, first served basis. Take cash as taxi drivers don’t normally accepted credit cards.
Ride Sharing
Uber and Lyft operate in the Miami area. A ride from downtown Miami to the circuit should cost you no more than $50, though surge pricing can make fares much higher, especially when returning home at the end of the day. Beware of unlicensed drivers posing as Uber drivers, especially in the area surrounding Hard Rock Stadium. Please note that ride share vehicles cannot drop you off at the circuit gates. You will be dropped off (or picked up) at one of several ride share lots to the North, South or East of the circuit, depending on where you are coming from or heading to. Guests are encouraged to use the same rideshare location for both drop off and pick up. For more information, including how to get from the rideshare lots to the circuit by walking or shuttle bus, click here.

In addition to official parking lots, unofficial lots are also located within the vicinity of the Hard Rock Stadium, but you are parking in such lots at your own risk.

I’ll be bringing a group (10 people) to and from pompano beach to the formula one race at hard rock stadium all three days during the event …what exit off the turnpike should I take and what is the closest drop-off point to the track from that exit?
I recommend using Google Maps or Waze on your smartphone to choose the best route. Here is what Google Maps says right now:
Pompano Beach
Florida, USA
Get on Florida’s Turnpike in Coconut Creek
11 min (4.2 mi)
Follow Florida’s Turnpike to Turnpike Acc in Miami Gardens. Take exit 2X from Florida’s Turnpike
18 min (19.8 mi)
Drive to NW 203rd St
4 min (0.6 mi)
Hard Rock Stadium
347 Don Shula Dr Suite 102, Miami Gardens, FL 33056, United States
I’m not 100% sure on the best drop-off area, but you should be guided by traffic control once you get closer. Probably your guests will still have to walk some distance from drop off point to the stadium. You won’t be able to drop off too close to the entrance gates, I think.
Hi Andrew, I will be staying the in heart of Downtown Miami and attending the F1 on the Saturday. How would you recommend getting from here to the circuit, ideally using public transport?
Thanks
Hi, I’m sorry but too busy to answer everyone’s specific travel questions. In my opinion, the answer is already in this article. You can take the Brightline train from Miami Central Station to Aventura Station, followed by a shuttle bus.
