On Wednesday, a judge excused the last case from Miami Gardens inhabitants who hoped to impede the occasion from going on due to ‘intolerable’ noise levels. “Although the burden may seem unfair to the plaintiffs, the residents, I do find that any potential harm from the noise is avoidable,” said the judge.

“In combination with that, the evidence proffered so far regarding the potential hearing loss is, in my view, very highly speculative. It is not based on any current Formula 1 noise information. And the most recent affidavit from overnight does not take into consideration the south wall, a noise barrier previously erected at the venue,” the judge further explained.

Meanwhile, construction started a year prior to the change over the parking areas around Hard Rock Stadium into the Miami International Autodrome. A 5.4km circuit with 19 turns in addition to extraordinary fan seeing regions, for example, a brief ocean side and yacht club.

Presently, the final details are currently being applied to what seems to be a picturesque circuit, with only two weeks left for the mega event. The organizers, however, are very confident that it will be a grand success.

“We’re in the final stages of this incredible circuit that will host the first-ever Formula 1 race in Miami. We are delighted with the progress we have made. And it’s a huge credit to the hard work of the team here in Miami. In consultation with both Formula 1 and the FIA to get this circuit finished in a tight timeline,” said Richard Cregan, Miami GP CEO.

In March, an ‘Innovative’ new tarmac surface was laid on the Miami track highlighting a blend of neighborhood lime-rock and Georgia stone as would be considered normal to convey an extremely smooth circuit for F1.

“There has been no compromise on any aspect of the circuit design or quality of construction. In my experience of working with new venues over the years, I’ve never seen as much effort on perfecting the surface of the track as we have done in Miami,” Cregan concluded.
