About the United States Grand Prix

Formula 1 first raced at the Circuit of The Americas in 2012, and the event has grown into a full weekend of racing, concerts and fan activities. The purpose-built circuit has a steep climb to Turn 1 and a mix of fast and slow corners that often produce close racing. Details of sessions and tickets are on the official Formula 1 United States Grand Prix page.

Austin itself is a big part of the appeal. The city is known for live music, Texas barbecue and a relaxed atmosphere, so many fans plan a few extra days in the city or travel on to other parts of Texas.

How to get to Austin for the United States Grand Prix

Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) is the closest airport and is not far from the circuit. Some international travellers fly into larger hubs such as Houston or Dallas and connect to Austin, or drive from San Antonio International Airport (SAT).

On race days, official shuttles from central Austin, ride-hailing zones and parking areas serve the circuit. Travellers should check the official entry requirements for the United States before booking and leave extra time for race-day traffic.

Where to stay

Downtown Austin is the most popular base, with easy access to official shuttles, restaurants and music venues. Areas near the airport and the south-east of the city are closer to the circuit. Rooms sell out quickly for race week, so book early and expect minimum-stay rules.

Groups may find more choice in nearby towns, but should factor in longer daily transfers.

Planning a group trip to the United States Grand Prix

A group tour to the United States Grand Prix can pair race tickets with time in Austin and a wider Texas itinerary, for example San Antonio or the Hill Country. Packages work well when they include airport transfers, hotel rooms near shuttle points and official tickets.

Brief travellers on the circuit layout, as walking distances at COTA can be long. Comfortable shoes, sun protection and an agreed meeting point make race days easier for everyone.
