What makes it different
- Built in the Hard Rock Stadium car park, so most of the lap sits on surfaces never designed to be raced on - grip changes noticeably between sessions as rubber goes down.
- Turns 13–16 run under and around the stadium flyovers on a markedly bumpier, lower-grip surface than the rest of the lap.
- The dockside marina between Turns 4 and 6 is a stage set: ten real yachts float on roughly 25,000 square feet of painted decking made to look like water.
