A group of us drove from San Francisco to Austin for the first MotoGP race at the new Circuit of the Americas track. They definitely had not yet worked out the kinks and unfortunately it impacted our overall experience. The track itself is awesome but the facilities left a lot to be desired.

Below is a list explaining what I mean:
-The view of the track is very poor from the RV area, which is a bummer considering what it costs to be there.
-There were no trash cans in the restrooms, women's or men's.
-The music was waaaay to loud (and it sucked) in the RV area, and there was no way to opt out of it. It also started at 7:00am!
-Many areas of the track did not have jumbo screens, even though the capability existed and the screens were up previously for F1 racing. This left many blind areas for on-site viewers.
-The showers were not cleaned, not once, during the 3-day event and they ended up clogging in the men's room by the RV area.
-Merchandise sold out on the very first day.
-Not enough Porta Potties.
-Not enough trash cans.

There were a couple positives that I must also mention:
-The staff was WONDERFUL. Every single person was smiling, friendly, and helpful.
-The track itself is amazing.
-The water pressure in the showers was very good and no one in our group ever ran out of hot water.
-The traffic flow at the end of the day on Sunday was very smooth and speedy.
