My wife and I came here for a vacation this year and it was absolutely amazing. The weather wasnt overly cooperative but it was February after all. The event staff was more than helpful and always willing to point you in the right direction. Surprisingly the food and the merchandise was not over prices like my wife thought it would be. We will absolutely be going here again for more races.

Went to karting. Karts felt great, were fast and felt better than other comparable karts.

Bike Nights are absolute must go for local cyclists. I drove from south Texas just for this and no regrets. Uphill for the first corner is a hell but so rewarding when you climb it. Theres a bypass which you can take if you dont want to die.

We will have to come back and see this venue for a better event. Came today for the Hi Performance Expo 2020 Powered by OPTIMA and mainly to see the Cletus McFarland crew. Which we did get to do! At least a little bit lol. Leaving the starting line and from the overlook areas. As mentioned, this track is not laid out the best for this type of event. You get to view maybe about 2 seconds of each drivers run. Then off they go on the very long course. The other thing that kind of stunk was that nothing was open at the track. No restrooms (porta-potties only), no concessions to get a bottle of water or anything. Granted we did attend on a Monday, so maybe that was why - but the event ran till Tuesday. Was hard to know what was going on where without asking staff. The shuttle was helpful because it would be a hike to get to the couple different places events were. Only about 20-30 spectator cars parked at the main entrance. Very cool place it looked when it would be in full use. Huge! But this event was definitely more geared for just the competitors it seemed; which we didn’t really understand from the event description. Will try it again - but for a larger event like the MotoGP.

Fantastic venue. COVID has drastically affected what is open and usable.

Was flying my Mavic around on a foggy sunrise to get some dramatic fly-in sequences, but lost connection and ended up at the top of the tower, UPSIDE DOWN! Fortunately, the security guard was kind enough to escort me to the top, so I could retrieve my aircraft. He wasnt able to unlock the elevator, so... 500+ steps to the top! Definitely not an easy climb, but that guard was a trooper! Hell probably never see this, but many thanks brother!

Such fun, great people all around. Excitment everywhere. Car shows, a super tower (456 steps just to the top)to over see everything and so many people prepping their cars. A very laid back fun place.

The Peppermint Parkway was beautiful and cruising the formula 1 track was really cool!

Had a great time and is super safe and fun!2

Go kart track here is amazing, great place to go for a day. Its nice to see the main track, but as you might expect, if there are no events happening there really isnt much to see. You can wonder around the grandstands, which is nice though.

Ive been to COTA for F1 and again for cycling. F1 was awesome! They have a area dedicated to Veterans which is awesome. Great views of the track and plenty of food trucks nearby. Cycling was great as well. Smooth event with plenty of space. Great city views from the track.

Well,I was there but didnt get farther than the security gate. I was just delivering some food to some clients of ours. I have to say that i did want to go see the cars going around the track but hearing them was just as good. Maybe next year I will come to see the racing.

Great venue, good racing! Ned a few more food and drink vendors on smaller crowds, but racing is great!

Fantastic facilities and race track. Everyone was friendly.

Speed Tour was great. The venue is great as you can find a lot of spots to see the races with nice angles.

Great experience in this enormous racetrack. Plenty of entertainment and a vast array of food options all around the track. There are many food trucks and lots of good barbecue options. There are different venues for general music entertainment or shows with both assigned seats or general access lawn option. BE READY TO WALK!

This was my first Formula One race, despite having been a fan for at least 20 years. COTA is a fantastic facility, and there are few people that have anything but nice things to say! Seating in the turn one grandstands was fantastic, and was turn 15.Next year though, I think Im going to opt for general admission. Something about relaxing in the grass is probably worth the little bit of a lack of viewing angle.Part of a small problem is the fencing around the circuit and the GA seating areas. Its difficult to get photos through the fencing, but the seats are obviously higher, so thats the way to go if youre into photography.Food options, despite the expected crazy prices, were really good. Enjoyed a Venezuelan place on Friday and Saturday, and tried a BBQ place for lunch on Sunday. Didnt need with the chain places, but they had a few.PA audio system was extremely loud in turn 15, but fine in other areas.Bring a small bag, a chair, and youll have an absolute blast. Just remember that there is next to no shade in most areas, so layer that sunscreen on!Also, I was very happy to see that the customer service tents had free sunscreen and earplugs.

Great track, great views. I wanna live here.

I have been to different race tracks all over the country ...COTA is definitely one of the best! The parking is organized and easy to get to. The facilities are top notch and very clean. I liked that I had good seats...but it wasn’t an issue to walk around and get some different views and take some pics. If you haven’t seen a race here....I highly recommend it! Especially if it’s an F1 race! The technology that goes into the cars is unbelievable and it makes for some great racing!

Great track. Easy access. Broad views.

World class facilities and exciting track to drive.

Great track as a spectator or driver. It’s big and fast and also technically challenging. The facilities are top notch. The setup for F1 is next level awesome. The city of Austin is a great spot for a track. The location is a little far from the city and from most hotels but is not bad. Parking and traffic can be a pain but just plan for it and leave early enough to not worry about it. Go fast!

We always have an awesome time here. F1, SVRA, concerts. Everything is always well done.

Great place, if you could go in. Made my way there for this weekends race (GT3, GT-4, TC-R, TC, TC-A) after getting there, I was told I couldnt go in. City of Austin would not allow it. So we did not spend a cent in Austin after an unpleasant surprise. I didnt find anything at COTAs web page about it. Tried calling before heading over and nobody answered, just so we could avoid just that. Absolutely disgusted with COTA, even though its a wonderful track. I dont think they care. We watched the race on Youtube. Worst part was seeing people watching the race in the track without distancing or face coverings. Make your own opinion from this.

One if the best designed tracks in F1, will be back in top shape for 2020. Loved the atmosphere, should have stayed after the race to see the concert and avoid the traffic. Will be back.

Amazing track. Hard to imagine the elevation on turn 1 until you experience it. Many great views of the track whether you want to see the straightaways or turns. I miss the V8 sounds here before they switched to the V6 turbo, but youre still close enough to experience the raw sounds. Plenty of food booths, vendor shopping, and seating options depending upon your budget. Be prepared for the long departure times and traffic after the race, but great experience overall.

Overwhelming excitement. Best day ever with Rebecca Privette.

It was awesome, the tower view is incredible, I almost couldnt walk out over the glass flooring part of it. Definitely revealed a fear and trust issues I didnt know I have lol

Great family fun place! Saw a little bit of F1 Race Cars practicing. The Kart track racing was awesome! 55mph in a Kart was incredible! Very nice people in general! Check it out if you are near the airport!

Americas best race track.

Always top notch and you can be right in the action

Put this on your bucket list. The only Formula One stop in the United States. Facilities are top notch, especially the Amphitheatre. Catch the downtown shuttle after the race and enjoy the bars and music scene of Austin

Amazing raceway and venue equipped to host huge events as well as smaller, amateur racing. The concession prices are steep and the beer prices will make you wanna stop drinking but it is a state of the art track without a doubt.

Were F1 fans for life, so when they put in a road course good enough for F1, you gotta go..! Even if you are not a race fan there is plenty to do/see.

This place is awesome!!! Great venue for all different types of auto racing. Today was cars and coffee as well as super lap battle. Spectating was free and not limited to one area.

Was here for Fully Charged Live event focusing on electric vehicles. It was a great place for a large event. The facilities here are very nice and lots of room for a big show. Would be nice if they had a few larger secondary rooms, at this event the 2nd stage area was packed tight. But may be because the speakers were so good.

Great venue to watch a show. They have the most polite and friendly ushers. Our usher was super cool and a big music fan. She was fun to talk too. $9 beers and $16 mixed drinks kinda of sucked but I guess thats just the way it goes. A plus for me were the seats, plenty of leg room.

I was here for Fully Charged Live. Nice exhibits. Good panels or presentations. More Teslas per square meter than Ive ever seen. Test drove a Chevy Bolt EV and found it very good. Rode in a Tesla 3 in the back seat and wasnt impressed. Rough suspension for a Tesla. But its still a Tesla and if buy one.The E-Tron was also present but no other company with electric cars was present. Maybe next time.I hope Austin impressed the Fully Charged people enough that they will want to come back the next time.

I been to serval formula 1 events this track a very fast track and fun one to go to. It will be nice to see the NASCAR cup series racing here in 2021 it will be a very fun event.cant waite to get my tickets for the event.lots to see and do

Great for any car enthusiasts! Once a month on a Sunday, they hold car meets for anyone!

I fulfilled a childhood dream by participating in the Audi Sport Experience program. This is essentially the equivalent to being 12 years old and owning your own roller coaster. The track is world-class and such a thrill. The staff, facilities and amenities make it complete. Thanks for being incredible hosts during our visit. I will definitely return some day!

Great time, the staff is awesome.

Fantastic track. My favorite in North America. FAST sweeping corners, plenty of run off. Awesome! Austin is a must visit town.

Went to the circuit when they turned it into winter wonderland. I think if they continue to add to it every year it will be fantastic. We had fun ice skating and enjoyed the carnival rides. The light displays were great.

We were here for the F1 Grand Prix. Awesome circuit. Venue is not too far from the city and access is very accessible. Huge area so prepare to walk a lot. Food options are ok, but nothing fancy. Concerts were awesome (we saw Imagine Dragons and Pink), but sound was not great. Probably they did not have enough time to get it set up. All in all, a good experience.

Awesome track, clean facilities, amazing views. If I could spend every day here, I would. The smaller races are actually more fun in that the experience is a lot more personal, explore the paddock, talk to the teams and drivers, check out the cars and technology. Its gearhead heaven.

Went to Peppermint Parkway night and it was absolutely awesome...

One of the best tracks for watching racing. The views are amazing and so many places to watch action from.Getting to and from circuit is easy and parking worked out really well.

One of my favorite places in town always have some thing going on. The golf carts are awesome the concerts I attended we’re good. But of course the F1 cars takes the cake.

Awesome place. Went here to see some GT racing and had a blast. A lot of walking but very worth it. Restrooms are very clean with sensor soap and water so you dont have to touch anything to wash hands. They have food and drinks and they range from 6-12$. You can bring lawn chairs and walk anywhere on the property to sit and watch the race. If you love racing and motors, youll enjoy this place. Highly recommend and will definitely come again.

It was really nice I had a lot of fun

Really cool F1 track and the only place they hold F1 events in the US. Large space that requires lots of walking (car to entrance, entrance to seats). Bring sun protection. Also, bring blankets for grass seating if you don’t have stadium or bleacher seats. I was lucky to get pit passes but even still, there are a lot of awesome places to enjoy this sport at this intricate international raceway.

So much fun riding my bicycle pretending to be on a GP moto bike, hit the hairpin turns

The track is awesome. It’s the only track I’ve been to so can’t really compare with any other F1 tracks. I had general admission tickets and there were so many spots on the track to get a good view of the race. My personal recommendation would be turn 1 and turn 11. From turn 1 you get a good view of the start/finish line as well as the pits, turn 2 as well, far away view of turns 16,17 & 18. You can watch the Saturday practice from turn 11 as well to get a feel of high speed straights. The shuttle service is great to pick up and drop off from diagonally opposite points. The volunteers were very friendly.

Be prepared to walk a lot and bring a small foldable lawn chair. No shade. And bathrooms are a walk and lots of porta potty’s. I went for the F1 race and it’s was fun but it got packed on race day.

SVRA vintage championships are fantastic !!! Been attending this event at COTA for the last 6 years.

Big, beautiful, good place for pictures especially if you like sport cars. Lots of events (even green ones like solar car racing) and opportunities to enter the world of racing. Loved it.

Cars and Coffee at COTA!! Always a great experience with something new to see. From daily drivers, to exotics, to hot rods, to customs, with representatives of most of the newest performance vehicles hitting market today.

Track was in really good condition and was a blast to drive. The Champ cars are great if your over 16 and have a drivers license. The carts had good power but they werent over powered, acceleration was not what you would get in some of the electric carts out there, hut top speed was fairly easy to hit on the straightaway.

Great track, the 2018 F1 USGP was a great event. The track layout makes for exciting racing with areas for overtaking and plenty of high speed areas. The staff was good, plenty of great volunteers to help answer questions. Even with the rain the event went well. The only complaint is the cost of food, its out of hand. No food is allowed to be brought in. Well be back but well definitely eat before we go.

The Formula One Grand Prix 2019. A true highlight. Beautiful modern facility, plenty of bathrooms, the only drawback is that it is far from town and it is hard to see the track unless you are in the designated seating areas. There is a lot of walking involved!!

Fully Charged was at Circuit of the Americas! Good show to see Electric Vehicle (EV) technology.

Awesome tracks and if you can afford it, you can shred like the NASCAR boys...

The experience was phenomenal, and seeing Pink was absolutely amazing. But it is not very accessible for disabled. Outside of the park yes, and from the entrance to your car yes, but once you are inside the park there is nothing and no assistance to help get around.

This was a great experience. The parking was a bit confusing but the event itself was enjoyable and quite a sight to see.I had never been to a race before, so sitting on the lawn and seeing them fly by was a great experience.

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!

Only ever missed one F1 Grand Prix at this circuit (daughters wedding). One of the best on the calendar. From a rocky start in year one COTA has come on leaps and bounds and now is a must go to race. Great facilities and bars, only complaint would be the massive queues for the bathrooms.

If you like formula one racing that is the place to be

My friend and I visited the amphitheater to see Cage the Elephant x Beck and it was amazing. They had a truck cart people from the parking lot to the theater and back, lots of accessible restrooms and food, and the lawn was very clean and well kept. The lights and giant red tower look amazing at night when lit up. I will definently be back for future concerts!

Just got back from an amazing weekend at COTA watching F1. Gift from my wife for my birthday. Absolutely amazing time.Truly shocking how quickly they can get 150,000 people in & out of the parking lots.The food was actually surprisingly good - not cheap - but no more than theatre food & WAY better tasting. Beer was plentiful & getting to our seats was not bad.We sat at the top of Grandstand 9 (by corner #9) you could see about 3/4 of the track & the cars screamed by us within 200 feet - close enough to get the feel of truly how fast they are going.SoI highly recommend it to you. Especially if youve been closely following F1 for 33 years like I have.HeyEven the concerts were amazing.Imagine Dragons Friday night.P!NK on Saturday night.It was a great time had by all!

This was a weekend and adventure I will never forget. COTA has done a great job managing and hosting events here. I cant wait to come back!

Awesome Experience, fun all day long. Cant wait to return.

COTA is one of my favorite places to go. Great races throughout the year. The venue is huge and offers lots to see. Make sure you use the shuttles around the track they make getting around much easier than walking. Also check out the go kart racing track super fun.

Did the Tuesday Night Ride at COTA. Had a great time!!

Have been several times for MotoGP racing, but I dont find the track lends itself well to exciting motorcycle racing. The field tends to spread out. The facilities and public side of the paddock are nice, and there are a few spots around the track to catch some good action.

One of the coolest tracks Ive been too

ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS PLACE!! Their go carts were amazing! This place is a legitimate location apart of the world wide formula 1 race cars! They also have exotic car training class people can purchase to learn how to handle vehicles at top speeds, just like the pros! A program certainly on my bucket list!

Didnt know this existed in Austin, TX. It was my first time checking out a motorcycle gp race. It was fun looking at the race (LOUD!), and also all the side exhibits, shops, food trucks, etc.

COTA is a great place to watch any type of racing as well as catch a concert or a soccer game.They also have track rental for those of you with the desire and funds to do so.Plenty of seating in the right places and GA lawn seating where needed.Pro Tip:Check the VIP tickets in turn 12 for the next race, well worth the money.

Go karting was great. Circuit was outdoor and big. Highly recommend coming here

A fantastic venue for any racing fan.

We always have a great time at COTA.

Great atmosphere for the family. Parking may be somewhat far, but shuttles are available for transport. Also the access in and out of the event is a breeze. I was surprised how quickly the event staff manages traffic. Very well prepared.

This was the first day of the Formula 1 races. It was not crowded. We were on turn 4 in the “cheap” seats but the racing was great. The cars were speeding by at 180 mph on a difficult four curves in a row.

Large, world-class venue for vehicle racing.

This is a great facility and they mean business because you get the best drivers in the world to come there. As a spectator I guess my only gripe would be leaving the venue after a race. Didnt seem to be a smooth as it could be.

Decent parking, lots of good vantage points, turn 15 grand stands are the best seats in the house. Great sound!

Love Bike night. Very organized

Willie Nelson picnic on July 4th, great venue. Love the variety of bands and attractions. Be ready for some heat, but definitely worth the visit. Great place!

Went for the MotoGP 2019I really liked that the general admission areas still had great views. I dont like getting an assigned seats because I like to move around to different places during different stages of the race weekend. Even though this place was packed there was still plenty of places to put out some chairs. I also liked how they were really organized for traffic coming in and out of the race. Made for a short time in traffic.

Just left Austin from F1 trip. What an experience, we splurged on the CORA club and while it wasn’t cheap being a VIP was worth every dollar!! Only issues I saw; better traffic managment during concert times for both cars and people. The mass of people trying to get into Pink was poorly handled. Otherwise, food trucks were awesome! Race was spectacular, and grounds were very well taken care of!

Now Now Now, if youre visiting any part of Texas and youre a motorsport enthusiast please please include this on your tour, I flew all the way from Africa to visit this place. I recommend the guided tours that give you a general overview of the whole circuit. for me it was a on the bucket list.

This is a great place if you enjoy go kart.The karts here are pretty fast which adds to the fun and rush. The only issue I find is that one ticket will enable you to ride only for 10 minutes, which seems short. Nevertheless, I recommend trying it out and race.

The Circuit of the Americas (COTA) is clearly one of the best motor sports venues for a wide variety of racing formats and other entertainment events. Access to the grounds is very accommodating and makes it easy to locate many excellent viewing spots from the grandstands as well as the general admission grounds.But for the very unhealthy food choice options, I would rate COTA five stars.

Went to see the Formula 1 races and watch pink in concert. Was a great day!

Alice In Chains and KORN, July 2019; fantastic show! I have lost track of how many concerts I’ve seen at Austin 360. It is a wonderful venue!

Amazing place it watch races. Definitely 11/10. Ive been here so many times and loved every minute of it!

Our family got the opportunity to camp in grounds at this facility. We love it. Here, the camper Parkin is a little bit different. You have to pull to park. That usually works very well for class A and B RVs. Travel trailers may have an issue with it if like mine is a bit longer. Other than that, camp is clean, pool is nice and is close to the racetrack.

A great time. Hopefully they will keep up the shuttle services. Makes a huge difference in the enjoyment factor for all attendees. Great to see 44 take his 6th!

Incredible inaugural IndyCar race day in Austin that turned into a historic win for rookie Colton Herta in only his second race! Youngest ever to win an IndyCar race at 19! Awesome track and venue with outdoor amphitheater, soccer field and lots of seating/viewing options to compliment the ample RV parking! The track has an incredible color scheme to identify the turns/rumble strips that give the fans and drivers a special and unique experience!
