Circuit of the Americas Reviews

Nice spot. Get parking lot C if you need to go to Amphitheatre 360

I dropped my husband off with a few buddies to a Soccer game here and they had an amazing time. I only put 4 stars just because it can be a bit confusing trying to get to the parking lots during the chaos at the end of the game.

I love every time I come out here. The track is beautiful and lots of great spots to get a good view.

If you are a fan of racing the tour experience was pretty awesome. The staff were super knowledgeable and were able to answer some pretty obscure questions without missing a beat. Got to stand on the famous Turn 1!

This is awesome. You can spend the whole day there and not feel it fly by. If they don't have an official race then always have practice runs private racing cars driving around. You can also do a tour inside, go carts which are loads of fun. And if you get hungry top restaurants to choose from inside. It's a bit on the pricey side but definitely worth checking out.

Great place to see a show the staff was all friendly and facilities are clean

An amazing race circuit that spoils the spectator with endless great viewing options.

This is my second hear attending F1. This year was far better with traffic control entering T and parking. However, leaving after the race in Sunday was horrible. Seating at turn 1 is great. They do a good job at having restrooms and hand sanitizer around

over priced everything, if you like parking lot concerts this is your place

Magnificent structure. I went to watch MOTOGP and I didn t get traffic either on arrival or at the exit of the race track.
Very well structured and planned.

Went to the Auditorium to see some live music. The place is very clean and very easy to get in and out of. Only complaint was that we had to walk 10-15 minutes to get to auditorium and we didnt wear the right shoes (flip flops/sandals).

Great place to watch ZZ Top s 50th anniversary tour!

Formula 1 qualifyings 2018. Great event. Cold and a bit rainy day so the floor was muddy everywhere(rain jacket and rain shoes or boots are the best for this)
Food and drinks are super expensive $15 bowl and $10 a beer!. Uber is the best way to go(drop off areas)

I love winterland Christmas on circuit of America's

Make sure you pay attention to where you park and what turn your tickets are. Plenty of restrooms and plenty of good food (high prices). High prices on the merchandise.

Looks like a great track. Did not ride due to no one attended when expected. Will compare to tracks in Germany we attended. They were super.

Impressive race track. Beautifully designed and the race itself is awesome. Terrible location, out in the middle of nowhere, not nearly enough parking lots that are asphalt (you shouldn't have to park on rocks for what is charged), awful shuttle service. Main road to the venue is two lanes (one in, one out) which is an absolute nightmare after events. ZERO shade! Food is decent and you should expect to pay a bit at any sporting event so no complaint there. Amphitheater is nothing to write home about, the coolest thing about it is it's inside a race track. Worth at least one visit but the walking you have to do to get around is enough to keep me away, borderline marathon.

Great track. There are long walks. Luckily, they have pedicabs out there to take you when your feet get tired.

RS3 host some of the best F&B options in such a large venue, concerts, races and games are such a joyful experience out here!

Great to see the sport i love however, the track itself can use repairs or repavement.

This is my second year going to the USGP. It is what we look forward to all year long. Great race, great venue.

This is absolutely my favorite place on earth. We happen to be lucky enough to live 15 minutes away and I have enjoyed working on-track at MotoGP, F1 and the 24H races for 2 years now. My daughter and I have hit 3+ races and 3+ concerts every year since they built this place. Every year, it only gets better. Put this at the top of your list.

Tuesday bike nights By Holland Racing are the best. You get to ride your bike on a f1 track!!! Ohh you don't have a bike don't worry... There is bike rentals there for you!!! Fun for the whole family.

Of your like me and like fast cars and stylish ones check them out the track is sweetttt

Great experience! Found the best parking lot directly next to the track on the left side of FM812 for only $40 that made the day so easy! We just walked on their private path directly to the COTA entrance in just about 5 minutes

Came for a ZZ Top, Bad Company, and Cheap Trick concert. Was delighted to find a variety of beverage and food. Was overpriced as expected, but filling and tasty. Plenty of restrooms and the seating was comfortable. The staff is firm as to where you can walk and stand but friendly. When someone wouldn't move out of their seat to let me sit down during one of the shows the staff came in and helped quickly and politely.

Had great time at Grand Prix. Could have had more food vendors with larger diversity. Also, track could use one or two more big screens.

Circuit of the Americas. The Best Circuit in the MOTO GRANDPRIX Race Competition.

Like Speeding cars, fans Shrieking shouts of their favourite heroes , electrifying atmosphere of continuously changing fortunes of rankings? Then Circuit of the Americas (COTA) is the answer.
My son is a Formula 1 car race enthusiast and I too follow the Sports continuously. When he said he was taking me to Austin, the home of US circuit of this world wide racing I was more than delighted. It was a dream come true as it was my first time experience and it turned out to be unforgettable.
Everything at the COTA is very good, the seating arrangements, circuit, viewing screens, access the display of details of latest positions of lap, leaders, food arrangements and so on. You can take your own chairs and watch from the lawns, ordering your dishes from the moving vendors or from the restaurants.
The circuit of America has a beautiful track with steep gradients and bends which is a tough challenge only the masters of racing can undertake. We were having seats near the first bend, which has a steep 11 degree gradient. So it was a thrilling experience to watch Ferraris, Mercedes, Renaults, Red Bulls, MaClaren , Sauber vroom past the bend like bullets in split second time. The spectators rise and shout, cheering the champions by their name, like Fernando Alonso, Lewis Hamilton, Jenson Buttons, Ricciardo, Bottas, Vettel and so on. During 2017 Lewis Hamilton came first and his winning run continued in 2018 too.
The description says the circuit has a length of 3.427 Miles and the participants have to complete 56 laps.
There is a tall observation tower of 77 feet high facilitating the watching of event in all 360 degree panaromic view . The race track, grandstand, amphitheatre all are worth watching. We lived and loved the entire event which lasted for just around one and half hour. We travelled from San Antonio to Austin and like us there were many racing lovers from different parts of US as it is the only place hosting F1 race in US! So it was a proud moment for us.
Don't miss it, United States Grand Prix was voted the Best Race of 2018! The news is that it is scheduled this year from 1st to 4th November 4th being Race day and previous days are reserved for practice and qualifying. Reservation should be done in advance say a few months earlier and refer to COTA website.

Good parking options. Easy in and out access from the toll road.

So far ive only been to the track when No event was taking place. I can say that the parking lot and driveway are labeled very well as well as trying to navigate your way to suites or lounges. I'll have to update my review in a couple weeks when F1 is in full swing.

A must visit for any motor sport enthusiast. We ve gone to the F1 race for the last three years.

Amazing track. I've only watch motogp there but it is fun everytime.

Wow, 3rd time. Met Lewis, got a pic and his autograph. What a weekend, he won also. GO Lewis for world champion

Fun track. Very technical as one might expect of a Herman Tilke F1 track. Lots of blind and off camber turns. Edge Addicts runs a great track event.

Beautiful place for family time. Enjoying everything.

Beautiful location and a wide variety of seating options make this a great place to spend a Saturday. If you aren't particularly into Motorsport then do what I did and just buy a couple cheap tickets for a low key event. On those cheaper general admission days you're free to walk all over the place and sit where you please, and with an added bonus of a relatively empty park. Clean bathrooms and some, albeit expected, expensive food ensure you can spend the entire day listening to beautiful exhaust.

The track was unreal. This was my first experience at COTA. It did not disappoint.

Bellisimo with that tower that dominates the entire track and the first curve uphill where you don't see the turning point. Fantastic

Cannot compare to Houston' s Magic Wonderland of Lights

Went Karting, super fun. Need to be aware that you are going to be driving with a mix of novices and experienced drivers that aren't always aware of others on the track.

Amazing theater. It's Austin. It's hot. The theater is open air. Remember that. But in the evening it's all in the shade. Lots of food vendors and drink stations. Many of the latter with no lines even though the show was sold out. Even had shuttles to and from parking lot. Our seats had cup holders but not sure about all of them. We sat pretty close but not vip

COTA is an absolute dream, great track with fantastic events

Great outdoor venue for shows. The only thing that s bad is the parking situation. Be prepared to walk a half mile.

Buy beer at the gas station across the street and drink it in the parking lot

Visited COTA for the F1 US Grand Prix. Amazing track, great views for general admission

World class facility . Kart track is great and staff very helpful. I recommend everyone attend a race or concert and get some laps in at the Kart track

Huge amphitheater and great sound for huge concerts.

This is a must visit venue for Formula 1. There price is worth it for entrance and the fun within.

Amazing place. Bring your walking shoes you will need them.

Entire family loved it. Ate pizza and enjoyed every minute of this thing. Good times
