Located in the tropics, Miami offers an excellent climate for racing year-round, with cool winters AND little precipitation. The road course in Homestead is the preferred layout for IndyCar and Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series, among others.
The 2.21-mile (3.55-km) road course at Homestead–Miami Speedway starts in the 2-degree banked front stretch and snakes in the infield of the oval track with a total of 15 turns. Some of these turns are tight, like turns three, six, or eight, while others are fast sweepers like turns one, five, or ten. The average speed of the road course is 78 mph (125 km/h), with an average lap time of 1:42.4. There are several hard braking zones near the corners and excellent passing opportunities in the straight segments of the track.
