As the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship wraps up another season, the focus shifts to the possibility of a Miami E-Prix return in 2026. Discussions are centered on whether the race will be hosted in downtown Miami or at Homestead-Miami Speedway, where the latest event took place. Formula E CEO Jeff Dodds praised Homestead's amenities but expressed concerns about attracting fans, given the series' limited awareness in the U.S. However, with an announced attendance of 17,000, they met initial expectations, sparking interest for future events in Miami.
Formula E series CEO Jeff Dodds expressed optimism about the Homestead facility, noting the sold-out hospitality suites, yet revealing concern about fan attendance.
Dodds noted that achieving an attendance of 15,000 to 20,000 in the inaugural year would be seen as great, given Formula E's lower U.S. awareness.
Despite limited marketing efforts leading up to the race, Formula E announced an attendance of 17,000, aligning with Dodds' target and reflecting initial excitement.
Logistical advantages at Homestead include permanent grandstands and a comprehensive media setup, which facilitate easier operations for teams and media covering the event.
