Miami GP night race under consideration, though ‘very unlikely’ for 2024
Jake Grant/Motorsport Images "Damn it boy, youre supposed to ask easy questions ! We have a two year contract, then we can haul butt....do you think we are going to pay to put in lights
and then lose money when no one shows up and we can't pay the electric bill? Are you going to see Duke Energy listed as a new sponsor? SShhhhhh.

The prospect of the Miami Grand Prix becoming a night race in 2024 is “very, very unlikely” according to the event’s president Tyler Epp, but is not off the table for the future.
Miami has enjoyed two sellout races so far since joining the Formula 1 calendar in 2022, and recently announced it would be expanding its capacity to 100,000 spectators per day next year. At the latest event, the race’s managing partner and NFL Miami Dolphins CEO Tom Garfinkel hinted the prospect of becoming a night race was being explored — with Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and Las Vegas all being held on Saturday nights in future — but Epp says more research of the impact of such a change still needs to be done.
