Heck, I remember when I used to have to add the \u201cSpeedvision\u201d option to my mom\u2019s cable TV package so I could watch a sport that was obscure to most Americans.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph skip\">Starting with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedrive.com\/accelerator\/the-miami-f1-grand-prix-was-an-overwhelming-success-like-it-or-not\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Miami Grand Prix<\/a> on May 3, folks will be able to watch select 2026 races at IMAX theaters across the country. This new viewing modality is part of Apple TV\u2019s new broadcasting strategy to grow the sport even more domestically. Folks who decide to make the pilgrimage to the theater rather than watch on Apple TV from home will be treated to a 150-minute broadcast, which includes 15 minutes of pre-show action, the full race, and podium celebrations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph skip\">Poking around my local IMAX theater website, it looks like tickets will run $30 plus fees, though that\u2019ll likely vary by location. For what it\u2019s worth, I think the best part of this gig is the fact that you\u2019ll be able to interact with fellow F1 fans, rather than be a hermit at home. God knows I\u2019ve spent the last 30+ years of F1 fandom screaming at the TV alone, and oftentimes at odd hours of the night.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph skip\">Besides Miami, you\u2019ll be able to watch the following 2026 races on IMAX screens:<\/p>\n<p>Miami Grand Prix\u00a0\u2013 May 3, 2026<\/p>\n<p>Monaco Grand Prix\u00a0\u2013 June 7, 2026<\/p>\n<p>British Grand Prix\u00a0\u2013 July 5, 2026<\/p>\n<p>Italian Grand Prix\u00a0\u2013 September 6, 2026<\/p>\n<p>United States Grand Prix\u00a0\u2013 October 25, 2026<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph skip\">I personally won\u2019t give this a shot for Miami because I\u2019ll be at the race in person, but I might consider it for another race later this year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph skip\">Would you pay $30-ish to watch an F1 race at the movies?<\/p>\n<p>As deputy editor, Jerry draws on a decade of industry experience and a lifelong passion for motorsports to guide The Drive\u2019s short- and long-term coverage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The biggest car news and reviews, no BS Our free daily newsletter sends the stories that really matter&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":227207,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[123,125,124],"class_list":["post-227206","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-miami","tag-miami","tag-miami-headlines","tag-miami-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/227206","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=227206"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/227206\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/227207"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=227206"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=227206"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=227206"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
