Indy cars are on the track! Loved seeing Firestone Racing and the Firestone tires at The Circuit of the Americas during the NTT IndyCar Series open test. Can't wait for the race in March!!!

I attended the inaugural F1, and while the facility is first rate, be aware that the so called "dry camping" that is available for the upcoming Lonestar Lemans for $79. is just a tent site.
I booked a 20x20 RV site when I ordered my tickets, and now I find out that there are no hookups available for power or water, its just a tent site. I'm sorry but that's just not acceptable in this day and age for RV'ers. Generators are available for rent at $300 a weekend, and sewer is also available for some exorbitant cost, but this is a new all time low. This was never explained in any of the ordering materials and I had to call to find this out. So all of you heading out there in your RV's, bring your cash.
To me, IMSA is probably not worth it. Its unfortunate that COTA decided to take this low road on providing "camping" facilities for their fans.
I doubt I'll be back.

This is an outstanding venue. There's a lot of seating and the shows are great. There's also a racetrack here, where people race all sorts of cars. The only downside is how far away it is from the city of Austin. It's quite a drive. Also, be careful with the GPS. It once took me to the back side of the venue, where the entrance looked to be permanently closed for a long time now.

My experience with the Circuit of the Americas facility has been limited to the annual MotoGP races early each year. From what I understand, the pricing of tickets is on par with other races elsewhere in the country. The track itself is absolutely beautiful with its red, white, and blue flair and the races have always been entertaining to watch (if not very close).

My complaints arise because of the cost of everything else at the facility. You're not going to find food for less than $10 and it'll probably be mediocre and barely qualify as a full meal. Drinks are obscenely expensive and limited to watered-down mass production beers despite the abundance of local breweries in the area. Corporate wheelings and dealings have turned what should have been an awesome Austin experience into just another mass market sporting facility. Parking is stupidly expensive at the gate, so be sure to pay up-front to get a parking permit.

Traffic in/out of the area is an absolute nightmare. The lack of major roads create an enormous traffic jam following any event regardless of attempts to control flow. Don't be surprised if you end up waiting over an hour to escape the area.

We came to Circuit of the Americas (COTA) for the Inaugural Indycar race. The facility is very expanse and you can walk a bit to get from place to place in the track. We sat in turn one and you can see a lot of the track from there. We were in Grandstand 15 - Awesome view of the stadium portion of the course... Perfect spot to see the racers for a decent period of time .... Weather was awesome , people are very friendly ...

We booked a tour weeks in advance as we live in the UK and could only visit on one day. Arrived nice and early and were made very welcome.
The tour took us around the circuit, race control, the podium. The Audi Experience were on circuit, they were kind enough to allow 'photo opportunities in one of the cars. At the end the merchandise container was opened. Bit disappointed with the choice of memorabilia but it was OK.
Our group were given the chance to go back to the circuit to go on the track. Just my husband and I went back so we had a private two lap tour.
As our driver said, we had the golden ticket today.
Highly recommend the tour.
