Streets of Miami was the informal name of an intermittent series of street circuit auto racing events set up in the Miami-South Florida metropolitan area area. Rather than hold these events in a stadium, various surface streets were cordoned off to be used as a race track.
Locations used for "streets of Miami" events include:
- Tamiami Park (CART, 1985-1988)
- Bicentennial Park (IMSA, 1986-1993; Trans-Am, 1994; CART, 1995)
- Bayfront Park (IMSA 1983-1985; ALMS/CART, 2002-2003)
One episode of the television show Miami Vice ("Florence Italy") centered on a race car driver accused of murdering a prostitute. The episode featured some short outdoor scenes in the pit lanes of the Miami Grand Prix.
