Homestead-Miami Speedway Road Course
Homestead-Miami Speedway Road Course Notas:
El Homestead–Miami Speedway es un complejo para deportes a motor que consiste en una pista oval estilo NASCAR y un circuito de carreras interno, construido en 1995 en Homestead, un suburbio de Miami, Florida, gracias a una iniciativa liderada por el corredor y hombre de negocios cubanoamericano Ralph Sánchez. La pista oval exterior y el circuito de carreras interior interactúan de varias formas, compartiendo los segmentos rectos o las curvas con peralte de acuerdo al trazado preferido en una competición dada. Ubicada en los trópicos, Miami ofrece un clima excelente para las carreras durante todo el año, con veranos calientes y lluviosos e inviernos frescos con pocas precipitaciones. La pista de carreras de Homestead es el trazado preferido para IndyCar y Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series, entre otros.
La pista de carreras de 2.21 millas (3.55 kilómetros) en el Homestead–Miami Speedway comienza en una recta frontal con peralte de 2° y serpentea en la parte interna de la pista oval durante un total de 15 curvas. Algunas de estas curvas son cerradas, tales como la tres, las seis, o la ocho mientras otras son rápidas y prolongadas tales como la uno, la cinco o la diez. la velocidad promedio para la pista de carreras desde 78 MPH (125 km/h), con un tiempo promedio de vuelta de 1:42.4. Hay zonas de alto frenado cerca de las esquinas y excelentes oportunidades de rebase en los segmentos rectos de la pista.
Road Course Notas:
Homestead-Miami Speedway's Road Course configuration delivers 3.560 kilometers of Florida's unique oval-infield hybrid challenge through 13 turns combining 2.414-kilometer oval sections with purpose-built infield technical areas, located in Homestead 48 kilometers southwest of Miami. This counterclockwise layout originally constructed during the facility's 1995 opening featured a 2.21-mile road course utilizing oval straights and infield sections that evolved through configurations avoiding oval banking initially, then later incorporating banked turns to create varied corner types ranging from flat infield technical sections to high-speed banked oval segments. The 2025 Formula E Miami ePrix debut prompted recent modifications including tightened Turn 1 and new backstretch chicane, demonstrating the road course's adaptability for different series requirements while maintaining the fundamental oval-infield hybrid character that distinguishes Homestead from pure road courses or simple oval conversions.
The Road Course's character emerges from contrasting oval and infield section dynamics. The 13-turn layout combines high-speed oval straightaways rewarding power and aerodynamic efficiency with tight infield technical corners demanding brake-turn precision, creating lap time challenges where different vehicle types excel in different sectors. Early configurations avoided oval banking entirely for European-style flat road course experience, but later iterations incorporated banked sections creating unique transitions between flat infield corners and banked oval segments testing setup compromise between grip needs. Florida's subtropical climate enables year-round racing with track temperatures regularly exceeding 50°C in summer combined with high humidity affecting cooling and tire degradation significantly. The facility's oval heritage creates infrastructure and spectator viewing oriented around the 1.5-mile oval, with road course events providing alternative use of the complex. FIA GT Championship, Grand-Am, Trans-Am Series, and the 2025 Formula E debut demonstrate the road course's versatility across different racing categories. The configuration particularly challenges engineers balancing setup between flat infield corners and banked oval sections, where suspension and aerodynamic compromises separate optimized approaches from one-size-fits-all solutions across South Florida's premier oval-road course hybrid venue offering unique layout unavailable at dedicated road racing facilities.
