Formula One racing is officially coming to South Florida.

Sunday the open-wheel circuit made the announcement that Miami Grand Prix will begin in 2022 as part of a ten-year deal. It will take place at a new circuit in the Hard Rock Stadium complex in Miami Gardens, but not everyone is happy with the move.

“We will not be hospitable to an event that is being put upon us that is endangering our health,” said long-time Miami Gardens resident Karen Hunter-Jackson. “The air toxins and the noise pollinations, it just seems to me to be environment racism.”
