The Starter Package - Beach offers numbered seating in either the North or South Beach Grandstand at Miami International Autodrome, positioned to view Turns 11 to 13. This is a key braking and overtaking zone where drivers lose significant speed after the DRS straight, making it one of the circuit's most competitive corners. Your seat allocation depends on availability, and the package includes a Thursday invitation-only event with a guided track tour, championship trophy photo opportunity, and pit lane walk.
What to know about the Starter Package - Beach at Miami International Autodrome
The Starter Package - Beach puts you in the heart of the action at Turns 11 to 13, one of the circuit's premier overtaking zones. The high-speed DRS run before Turn 11 means cars arrive at this braking zone at racing speed, making it the scene of bold moves and aggressive racing. You will have a numbered seat in either the North Beach or South Beach Grandstand; your specific allocation will be confirmed based on availability.
The two grandstands offer slightly different viewing angles. The South Beach Grandstand is positioned on the outside of Turn 11 and gives the clearest view of cars entering the hairpin. The North Beach Grandstand sits where you can see the exit of Turn 11 and the following pair of corners, Turns 12 and 13, as the drivers navigate through them. Both locations benefit from big screens to follow the wider race action.
Your package includes entry to Thursday's invitation-only event, where you will enjoy a guided tour of the racing circuit, a photo opportunity with the championship trophy, and a walk through the pit lane. This is a chance to explore the paddock environment before the main racing weekend begins.
