If you're into formula 1, motorcycle racing or live music under the stars, this is the place to be. Great formula 1 track and home to the Austin 360 amphitheatre. I've also had the opportunity to see the X-Games come through here a couple times. All in all there's nothing but fun happening at Circuit of the Americas.

The go kart track is amazing. The karts go pretty fast and thr gounds look just like as impressive. By far my favorite karting track. If i had one criticism it would be the lack of communication when you try and call in. Had an issue where they over charged me but proceeded to tell me they don't refund money once it's been charged. I mean it was their miatake. It took a couple days but a manager did make it right.

It's a world class race course. The views from the stands are great and have a video boards to see the race in the other track sectors. The general admission seats have great views of the track as well and you can move around to different points at the track throughout the race weekend.

Be prepared to do a LOT of walking!! It was fun to see the track. Attended an event there that wasn't well organized but I don't know that the track was involved in the organization. I would like to let them know that the elevator to the bridge that is closest to the tower was turned off. That was disappointing for several people with kids in strollers and several disabled folks.

It was so much fun to watch MotoGP and MotoAmerica racing! The facility was beautiful with wonderful accommodations. Had to park pretty far out but there were buses running every few minutes. The staff and volunteers were friendly and helpful. Beautiful track!!

I have been here to numerous F1, Rally, and concert events and this place never fails to surprise me! One of the best race tracks in the world. Great city, location, access, and management. Now racing here yourself is a whole other experience (terribly overpriced and highly over-regulated) but to visit this place is 10/10

Wow

The F1 race was awesome. The facility is very pretty and the landscape is engaging. Some parts of the facility are still raw, in all fairness and need to be finished... I'm just sayin'. Also, the shuttles around the facility were scarce so it's a good thing I was in shape. Bring your Nikes... again, just sayin'. The track layout is gorgeous and I can't wait until they start selling trackday access so I can post my own times, car and bike! Sweetness!

We had a fantastic time doing the Christmas at COTA event!! We were very impressed with the layout, the lights & colors, and it was very festive! There was music, rides, an improvised ice skating rink, food, drinks (the best was the Johnny Walker sample booth...thank you SO much for them!!! They kept us happy and saved us from hypothermia!), & we got to run around on the track!! :D

Incredible experience. Great for family or with friends. They have a go-kart track that's excellent for kids and young adults. Highly recommend the GT World Challenge races along with TCA, RCA, and GT4.

Excellent venue. The design was well planned to accommodate large crowds and events. The only thing that creates congestion is the roads that lead into the area. Small country farm roads are a mess if they're the main artery for traffic to pass through. Besides that I always enjoy the events here.

What can I say? The food is great, the races are amazing and intence, you can walk to the pits and see the GT3, GT4, Radicals, Boxers (There was the boxer cup... Right? RIGHT?!) and F1. It's a heaven for car enthusiasts like me! But track days are expensive...

Amazing brand-new world class F1 track with finely grouped technical hairpin type stuff as well as sweepers, straightaway, and elevation changes. Random seating choices will not disappoint, giving you a good mix of several chunks of track from any spot you choose! And yea, F1 tickets are in the don't ask price range but many other events are cheap fun. For about $20 you can watch a day's worth of sanctioned car racing, such as the 2013 U.S. Vintage Racing National Championship I attended last fall. Short heat after heat gave a Gran Turismo style selection of cars to watch, ranging from the early 1900's cars with a mechanic instead of mirrors all the way to cartoonishly giant Porsche wings clawing around the chicane. Sometimes the starting grid showed a specific idea of the racing class, other times it had bonnet buckles being blasted by turbine powered beasts made of nothing close to bright polished brass. Check it out soon and go watch the little guys who might have to remortgage the house if they blow another motor that weekend! That's exitement for all, all for the price of a pizza!

Went to the inaugural indy car race. Parking was a breeze, although expensive. Leaving eas a little harder, but to be expected. One of the best tracks in the world for motorsports & really happy to have it here in Austin. Renting a radio was really fun, and you could listen to the drivers talk.

Nothing better than watching some fast cars at the world renowned Circuit of the Americas.

Been here twice and unless you have a specific part of the track you would like to sit at, going with general admission is the best because you can choose multiple places to sit on the grass.

Be prepared to do a lot of walking though, if you wanna walk through the whole thing, you're looking at 4-5 miles.

Other than that, they have some go karting, and multiple car brands there selling you car experiences that usually go for $100.

They do have some restrictions, if you want to bring water, it's one per person. And they usually don't huge items, like big umbrellas, etc

If you love cars and like to see them go zoom zoom, then buy a day pass or a weekend pass and watch your heart out.

Great venue to watch a race. Track grounds are well organized. I love the design of the track and its facilities. Feels like a modern, first-rate track should. Great bonus that they offer a fantastic cart track to the public as well - which I particularly enjoy.

While the rain fell and made conditions as bad as it gets the Circuit of the Americas was still the place to be. The best staff, along with many great vendors you could still have a good time even without a single racecar on track!

We probably WON'T ever be back! They totally ripped off about 10K people or more! We saw over 1000 cars literally stuck in the mud and everyone paid $50+ for their crappy accommodations. If they can pave a nice racetrack they should pave the $50 parking spots!! Then when they realized how bad it was they told everyone to use the shuttle and pay to park at the Austin Convention center. Well that was NOT a good solution because people already paid for the parking at the convention center and those that couldn't park in their soggy spots all invaded the convention center thus causing US to have to pay for parking at another location!

They had no signs helping people understand where to go for the concert, so people were literally walking the entire racetrack in the MUD aimlessly!

We had asked for a refund on Saturday morning and they refused so we tried to go see Elton John! We have pictures of people falling in the MUD! The porta potties were so muddy that we saw several people trying to help someone out of the mud and then 3 people slipped in the mud attempting to help their friend! It was a fiasco to say the least! We ended up on the bleachers with 45 mph winds to watch Elton John on a big screen TV! We plan on pursuing a refund because the failed to provide a suitable place for us to see the concert & parking! They get a half a star because they should have allowed people a refund that did not want to go to a MUD HOLE!!!!

I know that a whole lot goes into making a large event enjoyable but in this case the concert promoters were just plain greedy to keep the event going! The all American Dollar was more important than accommodating the fans in a suitable manner!

More then 20K people were forced to take the shuttle and I bet some people didn't make it out of their til 3am!! I am pretty sure not everyone the parked in the mud got pulled out that night!

Sorry but this is the feedback from our experience!
