The appointment of Tyler Epps as the new CEO of the Miami GP
The 2022 race was scheduled at the new track constructed around the Hard Rock Stadium, home of the Miami Dolphins NFL club, under the direction of former Abu Dhabi and Sochi track architect Cregan, who was selected CEO for the second annual Formula 1 race in the United States.
Tyler Epp has more than 20 years of senior leadership expertise in a variety of sports, including eight years with the NFL franchise Kansas City Chiefs. He formerly held the positions of senior VP and COO for the race. His prior motorsport expertise includes five years with the multi-discipline division of Chip Ganassi Racing, four years as general manager of Hall of Fame Racing, a NASCAR Cup Series team, and Kansas Speedway, where he made his name.
“Tyler is a dynamic leader with integrity and diverse executive experience across multiple sports. We are excited to promote him to President of the Grand Prix. I want to thank Richard for his hard work and leadership in the massive challenge of pulling off our inaugural event in such a tight timeframe. I look forward to continuing to work with him moving forward,” said Tom Garfinkel, the managing partner of the event and CEO of Miami Dolphins.

The first Formula One race weekend at the circuit was generally regarded as a triumph, despite obstacles like the track splitting up due to a construction mistake and complaints about the quality of the food served in the Paddock Club hospitality facilities.
Garfinkel’s initial goal was to turn a gain in Year 1, and he afterwards promised to enhance things for subsequent occasions. Despite drawing over 243,000 attendees over its three days, greater than expected costs resulted in a loss.
