Flew to Austin to go to the MotoGP motorcycle races this year at Circuit Of the Americas (COTA) as it is one of the newer tracks in the U.S. and MotoGP no longer comes to Laguna Seca in California. Comparing the tracks and the area surrounding it, I can understand why the race moved. The track is obviously fantastic as the host F1, Indy, NASCAR along with a ton of other events, but there is a ton of space around the track to watch races; from a variety of grandstands to areas on the lawn, there is a place for everyone. There are a ton of vendors with a variety of foods, merch, and other race specific merch to purchase (Ie. Motorcycle accessories, parts, etc for motorcycle races, etc). They are also building on to the venue with various amusement park rides and to suit family members who may not be as interested in racing. The investment in the venue is awesome! Recommendations: the venue is pretty big so getting familiar with it before hand is a good idea. The is a COTA app you can download which has your tickets, tack maps etc. You can walk around most of the track (not the whole thing) or use the trolley which can save allot of time if you want to get some place in a hurry. There is also an underpass which can cut walking time from one side of the track to another. We will defiantly return to COTA in the future for future races and recommend it to you as well! read more

Cold, windy, but still so worth it. Spent hours here walking around. Checking out all the 250+ food trucks. Crazy insane, nothing I've ever experienced. The weather got a little yucky. Started sprinkling, then slowly turned to rain. By the time it was lightly raining, I had seen everything. Took a ton of pictures. Grabbed some food and just enjoyed everyone walking around with either a huge turkey leg, big baby bottles, buckets of food, 3 foot long meat on skewers. It was pretty insane to watch. The whole place was mapped out really well. Easy flow walking pattern. Water stations and bathrooms marked with huge flags. Lots of tables and chair for seating while you eat. Also an area of tables and chairs that was covered and also with a big DJ stage. Parking was easy. They charged $15.00 to park. There was a tram that would pick you up. I actually walked in, but took the tram back to my car. Leaving was confusing. You're just following cones out. So I followed the cones, and I was only able to make a right turn, whereas I came in, I should have made a left. But ok, let's just follow where the cones tell me to go. Next thing I know I'm only able to go into another parking lot. And this lot charged $30.00 so I lucked out being at the other lot, but okay, so here I am in another lot when I'm trying to drive out of here. I ran over a cone and made my own lane. Finally I exited out. All in all, security was nice when I came in. I had a small clear bag and my empty Yeti. I never filled my Yeti with the water they provided. If I was in dire need of water I would have gotten water. But I was good and it definitely wasn't hot. I would do this again. Some better planning in my part. Head phones. Would have liked to have listened to my own music and been in my own world. Small to go containers with leak proof lids. The food was large portions. So once you have 1 meal, you're kind of full to try other things. Hopefully I know the next time this happens, and I'll be better prepared. Really fun and a cool experience. read more

I've been to Circuit of the Americas several times, once for a concert and another for a VIP race experience. This most recent visit was extra special as I was invited by Harley-Davidson. Parking was $40, and right from the start, the experience was positive. The attendant at the gate was incredibly friendly and helped guide us to ADA parking. There are quite a few parking areas, and the one we chose did require a bit of a walk down to the track, but it was manageable. The day itself was absolutely perfect, great weather and an exciting atmosphere. Drinks were a bit pricey (about $18 for a margarita), but honestly, that's pretty typical for an event like this. What really stood out was the staff, everyone we interacted with was genuinely friendly and helpful, which made the whole experience even better. Overall, it was a fantastic day, and I always enjoy coming back here! It has definitely expanded since the last time I was there they have a roller coaster go kart track. read more

Came for the Drone show and was pleasantly surprised at the venue. Parking was easy enough and gaining entry consisted of showing tickets and a quick bag check. The venue had food stands open with various drinks and foods for purchase. There was picnic seating (grass) or seats you could pay for. Def opt for the seats...very comfortable. Easy access to restrooms as well right behind the location. Show started a couple after the time allowed and was great! There were sooo many different visualizations and just amazing. Odd part is I feel they came out better on the phone than in real life, but still fun. Seeing them come together and move around left me in awe. We couldn't figure out how many drones were there but it was a site to see. They had live sting quartet there as well to play along with the drones which didn't disappoint. The show lasted about an hour and went by very fast. If you get the chance to see this, I'd recommend! read more

It was cool to see the track while on the premises for karting! There's also mini was some sort of race of (mostly) BMW cars. They were so loud and fun to watch going around. Also looks like there are many events planned for holidays, based on the ads around and on socials. I'm excited to come back next year for F1!! read more

One of the best track in F1 calendar and I am glad that I can experience it. Good views from all the turns, plenty of action. Even general admission, because COTA has elevation changes, you can have a good view from GA too unlike in a flat track. Food: plenty of choices. U got bbq and Mexican (of course). Typical pizza, chicken and corn dog. And they have Mediterranean this year too. Drinks. In a hot day, 95F+, they need to sell more Gatorade or water with electrolytes instead of beer. People, include volunteers looks like they were in a bad shape under the sun all day. Parking: unless u have GA ticket and bringing chairs and stuff. Don't be stupid, get the shuttle. I see people park like a mile away so they have to walk at night on the side of the road which is crazy. Improvement: if the water station provide cold ice water. That would be so help in the summer heat. read more

I know people love to complain but as first time USGP attendees we enjoyed our Friday. Parking and exiting weren't as scary as folks on Reddit made it seem, but also we did stay till the concert for the exiting crowd to die down. Shoutout to Lot F for being directly across the street from the exit nearest the Super Stage - knew I won the lottery! Entry was a little confusing because there were several gates only for VIPs and staff/vendors. Even as someone who reads maps decently well I struggled to navigate & understand where I was at in any particular moment. We eventually just followed the crowd and tried to use what limited signage there is up on the circuit. We got lucky later on with access to turn 13 trackside suites. They have 2 floors and private bathrooms. While it's still not full blown A/C it's better than the GA hills. Great views of the racecars from the 1st floor balcony and 360 views from the open-air 2nd floor, including part of turn 1 I believe? Could be wrong though. Their hospitality staff provided great service & nonstop food changes. I hope some of the team had the opportunity to take home leftovers because what a waste of perfectly good food!! read more

Probably one of the best experiences you can have in Austin is the Formula 1 United States Grand Prix. I'll be honest, I don't follow the sport much. But I had fun regardless. This is an experience. I'd recommend getting the weekend tickets so you can watch the practice and qualifying sessions. When you arrive for race day on Sunday, the crowd is electric. You can feel the energy in the air. I love how you can walk on the track after the race is finished. There are amazing concerts throughout the weekend. The food options are plentiful. You can basically find any type of food you want. It can be a little hot even in October. So be prepared. And you should expect to walk quite a bit. It is pricey, but worth it. It's not something I would pay for every year. However, everyone should experience this at least once. read more

Circuit of the Americas - Smiles - Race Tracks Near Me - Austin, Texas

Circuit of the Americas track, located in Austin Texas, hosts a leg of the F-1 series that I attended last month. The track and facilities are going through a bit of a makeover on the north west side with the construction of an amusement park. This amenity should be open next year. Parking here is a bit convoluted and it's easy to miss a turn off for the lot you've been assigned to. The staff is helpful and was able to direct us where we needed to go. Getting in and out of here on race days is a pain in the neck with limited roadways in and out. The track is located in a rural area and the roads that surround it are in some serious need of upgrading. The days we went were hot and windy. The pathways around the perimeter of the track are not paved and the whipping winds caused a lot of dust to be blown around. There are also very limited areas to try and cool down on sunny and hot days. Regarding the food options they were plentiful but expensive. read more

I'm a huge Formula 1 fan and I go to Circuit of the Americas every single year. But there are definitely things that could be improved. It's always extremely hot in October and there's almost no shade anywhere at the track. For the amount fans pay (often $400+), you'd think there would be more canopies, trees, or shaded areas to help people out. The heat plus all the dirt being kicked up makes it a pretty rough experience at times. And this year, the staff at the Haven on Turn 9 were rude when checking you in and they told my family to leave before their closing hour and I didn't see anyone else being told to leave because they were "closing." If anything we just needed some AC before the long walk home. So that really took away from the experience. I still love F1 and I love coming to COTA, which is why I'm rating it four stars. But there's definitely room for improvement to make the fan experience more comfortable and enjoyable. read more

If you're invited for an event by a sponsor to attend one of the clubs; you'll get good treatment and a place out of the sun. If you're a "normie", if you want to see F1 GP at the COTA; prepare for $250 parking in the garage. Food is expensive as per expected but not that great. There is absolutely 0 shade in the stands and if you bring a bag needs 12x12 max. Merchandise here at vendors are like triple price of Amazon. Huge lines, you need to come early. Ticketmaster is what they use and I strongly suggest saving them to your phone digital wallet. Obviously, no weapons like any event. So, 3* because of the lack of space and crazy prices. 4* if you're at one of any of the sports illustrated clubs largely because the merchandise for what you would pay for tickets are meh. read more

This was my second time watching the F1 race at COTA. What I like about this track is that a General Admission ticket will allow you to walk around the whole venue and sit wherever you can find a spot (non reserved seating of course). I was surprised by all the outside items people brought in. I guess they don't have a strict prohibited item list. I recommend bringing a camping chair (purchase one at Academy!), umbrella, hat, and sunscreen. Getting into the parking lots on Qualifying and Race Day is ridiculous. Make sure you give yourself plenty of time to get to your prepaid lot and to walk to your section. I would plan at least two extra hours. There are lots of food and merchandise booths throughout the venue. This year, Amex customers received complimentary race radios to listen to live coverage. This is one of those things you never knew you needed. It's hard to follow the race if you're not near a screen or have access to the F1 app. If you have a ticket that includes any of the concerts, GO! The first time I went Pink performed, this year it was Eminem. read more

We attended the F1 USGP here! This place is massive and you'll definitely be hitting your step goals daily walking around all day. I'd recommend coming early and plan to sit in traffic going in/out when you're driving in since there were so many bottlenecks to get to the main roads. We attended Qualifying and Race Day and splurged on seats in the Main Grandstand because 1) it was shaded and the TX heat don't play, 2) there were bathrooms exclusively for this space (complete with lines but they moved fast and they were real bathrooms vs. the porta-potties outside!), 3) we also had club access with our tickets which weren't leveraged too much but it was nice to not wait AS LONG for drinks and snacks. We had a great view of the podium as well as the pit lanes and finish line. There were a variety of food and merchandise booths across the venue. My favorite was the lemonade stand where the vendor legit manually squeezed lemons so it tasted fresh AF. As with any event, merchandise pricing was higher than what you would typically pay for online except for the COTA branded merchandise which was reasonably priced. read more

This may be an unfair review due to this experience was thanks to Lamborghini and having VIP passes. We had a special area to park and air-conditioned shuttles transported us to the Lamborghini courtesy area .It was really hot today and was thankful to have a cool area to watch the race cars qualifiers The inside area had breakfast, lunch and dinner for those who had passes although you could walk around the track and purchase food if wanted. There was plenty of seating available and outside couches for viewing the race cars as they went by. I would highly recommend earplugs to reduce your chance of leaving with major hearing damage. If you have ever been to a race car race you will understand. We did go watch some of the qualifications earlier in the day where crowds were less and really enjoyed the open air seating . Would like to go again if invited. read more

My first time visiting the COTA. Usually the Formula 1 races are super expensive and I was not able to try COTA previously, thanks to Foodieland's Food expo, we were able to visit. The COTA was huge. I was awestruck by their grandiose infrastructure but they failed at proper infrastructure and logistics to handle crowds. Parking lots don't have sign boards, they have temporary light boards which weren't helpful. The parking lots were seldom close to the arena. So we had to drive until we reached an empty lot, but were stopped by pedestrians constantly trying to get to the other sides of the roads. No one guided us. We just followed the cars in front of us. There we no enough shuttle vans to shuttle us the long distance that we covered trying to park. Imagine the plight of seniors, waiting in the sun to get their turn to board these. There were abundant porta-potty available too. Hopefully they get better at this. The event was amazing and was able to try new cuisines from different parts of the world. Nigerian eggusi and Fufu, Asian baos, West African chickpeas fritters, honeycomb, banana puddings etc. Ambiance - 2/5 Logistics - 1/5 Safety - 4/5 Parking 1/5 read more

Went for F1 weekend and had a wonderful time watching the greatest sport. Cons: Food - be prepared for only fried, hot food. There's nothing cold & that sucks when dealing with the Texas heat. The prices are also high. Sometimes you can sneak snacks in. We were able to get ours in 2/3 days! Sound - for 2024 F1 weekend, you could only get the live broadcast with an American Express radio. It is not broadcasted at the track for all attendees. I had an AMEX, so got it for my group for free. I heard it was $150 for non-card holders, which is insane. I think hearing should be included with your ticket. Views & seats - the bleachers are not worth the money in my opinion. Your butt hurts after an hour or 2. Defiantly bring a cushion if in the bleachers. The GA pass is fine. You get to walk along the entire track & most people place a lawn chair in their preferred place as soon as gates open. GA is perfectly fine as long as you don't mind getting to the track a few hours before the F1 sessions (there are other leagues racing you can watch). The track is a few miles, so definitely wear comfortable walking shoes & be prepared to hike up some tall hills. read more

I've been to the races before but was cooped up in one of the booths so though I had a fantastic time, I was too far removed from the action to actually immerse myself in the experience. Getting good seats to Circuit of the Americas meant getting to watch AND hear the starts and finishes in real time, see the pit stops and lose some of my hearing for a good cause lol. I think everyone should go to a race at least once! I must admit that you have to be mindful about parking and food because the grounds are massive so there'll be a lot of walking and good shoes are a must. read more

On Oct/17 /2025 at this place during F 1 race there were huge amount of food waste. A woman named" Morgan " who seems like a manager told the workers and volunteers (lots of eye witnesses )to throw away so many untouched food like pastries and cut fruits on trays with plastic wraps from VIP lounge to trash can. Is this really our American values ? !Is this what we want to teach our young generation ?! While there are so many shelters around the city that could benefit from it. So many hungry people in the streets and she didn't even let the people who worked there to eat any of that food while they did not provide breakfast as they promised. So embarrassing and inappropriate. Hope the management can change this behavior and be a good example of our humanity as whole in Future. read more

F1 Live Experiences Review at COTA - 2025 "F1 Experience" Pros: Thursday ONLY Great open air ride on back of truck around the track Good but not great Paddock walk - some drivers interacted with the crowd. Trophy Photo - Whatever Thursday Food Trucks + Drink - decent - but you'll sit on the track to eat. Race Pros: * Exciting Race - we did Turn 15 - Double S creates lots of passing and potential crashes... * Great Exercise! - you can easily walk 5,000 steps to get to your seats... * Decent Food at "reasonable" prices - loved the BBQ, however, no sit down restaurants that I found... * Amex Radios - AWESOME = A MUST! Get them. Live race broadcast * Very Friendly Crowd... and staff. Cons: * Horrific Transportation - only take the freeway to the track - the backroads will take you 2 hours. F1 Bus drivers were moronic - never followed WAZE... always took the longest routes. * Terrible parking lot exit - another 1 - 1.5 hours possible - only one road in and out... * Bathrooms - WAY TOO FEW IN CROWDED AREAS... Best option - "Lonestar Land"... 40+ hidden outhouses... * The "Ask Me" sign people were not very informed... * Jumbo-trons - too small to see from seats not near Paddock... It would be so easy to improve this COTA Experience. 1. Widen road access and add a back road or 2 or 3. 2. Add Bathrooms all over... 3. More shuttles for those that can't walk that far to remote seats. read more

This place is destined for failure. Few staff members with very little info about anything. I attended a concert here where the gates were to be opened at 6pm. Gates did not open till after 8pm. No info on why the gate weren't open other than uncertainty from parking attendants to whether the concert would go on due to weather. Long story short, with tix in hand and after waiting till 8pm for gates to open and no info, we left. COTA hand next to zero staff available to answer questions. Consumers, be careful with place. Seems to be a quick cash grab place. read more

I came to COTA for the 2023 F1 US Grand Prix and was incredibly disappointed with my experience at the venue. First of all, security at the front gates did not do their jobs properly. Not a single person checked our bags/purses during all three days of the event. That's a huge safety concern that needs to be addressed immediately. Throughout or weekend, we would ask COTA staff questions and none of them seemed to know any info. Simple questions, such as, which direction is the starting line or where the observation tower is located could not be answered. This was frustrating as it also took us hours to find a map (finally got one at one of the clubs). Food at the venue could definitely be improved. The food differs in variety based on where you are seated. On Friday, the only food available to us was basic American BBQ and Mediterranean. When we walked to the other side of the track on Sunday, there was way more variety (ex. Hibachi, Mexican, Italian, etc). There absolutely needs to be more shaded areas/seating for guests. Everyone was fighting to get into a shaded area due to how hot it was. On another note, the cell reception is very poor and there is no WiFi access for guests. Lastly, we waited in line to go to the observation tower for over four hours. When we got up to the top of tower, someone let us know that we could have skipped the entire line by just taking the stairs. No one let us know of this as we were waiting. It's a tall tower, but certainly would not have taken me 4 hours to climb. Overall, the Grand Prix was an incredible experience, but COTA could make many changes to improve guest satisfaction. read more

Loved karting at this location! Go karts are in good condition, staff are friendly and they time each race. Downside is idk why they have the double karts.

Got into the stadium and played 27 holes of mini golf. Then onto the Karting track. This was fun and exhilarating! These cats go FAST! They say up to 50mph!

I've come here for two different occasions and had two very different experiences. My first time was for a Jack Johnson concert. We were directed to park a ways down and it was a bit of a walk getting to where the stage was. We only purchased lawn seating, but we managed to still get a good view of the show. They have water stations around, but it's not cold water so it will keep you alive but not refreshed if you're hanging out there on a hot day. They had other activities going on around the venue, almost like going into a mini fair. They even had volleyball nets set up in the grass area, which was cool. The show was amazing! Second time was during Super Lab Battle. My brother was visiting and he had some friends who were racing. We were able to drive through the tunnel and down to the garages where the cars get set up for the race and where they do their practice runs. This was such a cool experience!! read more

If you're going for Peppermint Parkway, DON'T! This place is so poorly run and so overpriced. The new Christmas light path is a joke.

Expect long wait times and to walk a lot and to be in the sun. There is very little shade here as there are no trees around. This can make for a long and hot day even in October. The apparel is expensive the only reasonable priced apparel is the Cota ones. It's a great facility but if you are doing general admission you won't have access to ac facilities. There is a lot to do and see get there early and buy the tickets for the shuttle it will be worth it. read more

First time I went here was for F1 and what a first experience, taking it all in. From an event perspective, it's amazing how smooth the bus transfers were, then once you got in, it was a massive event to take all in and when trying to get to the concert and get out, it was the absolute biggest cluster F I've ever been in. I don't know how we managed to wait in line for hours with tens of thousands of people and end up getting front row to see Greenday, but it happened. The weekend was truly all over the place. Let me just say as a Californian who moved to Texas and now living in 105 degree weather, COTA can definitely use muuuuuch more shade. I can see older people having heat stroke out here, it's terrible! And you have to walk very very very very far! That's my biggest gripe as an Asian who cares about skincare and staying out of the sun, I was miserable about that aspect. There was just no escaping it! Even the great bleacher seats we got - great view, but getting fried under the sun. The track and event itself it pretty cool otherwise. Not sure I'm looking forward to going again this year, I might just skip out based on my experience last year. But try it at least once I supposed. read more

Let me start by saying that it was my first time at this event. I took the advice of another blogger and took the Travis County Expo Shuttle to the event. The Expo doesn't have shuttle service to get to the bus, so after parking, I had to walk about 1/4 mile just to get to their bus. The bus ride to COTA was about 20 minutes or so. The bus drops you off at a location that seems to be 3/4 of a mile from the main GRANDSTAND entrance. I had already done some serious walking before I even entered the grounds. Once inside, I had to meet my friend who was at turn 7, so I started walking. I couldn't find an information booth, so I started asking random people how to get to turn 7. It took me 50 minutes to get to turn 7. I walked there all the while lugging 35lbs of camera gear and a foldable chair. I later found out that COTA has a shuttle that runs all the way around the facility, but you have to catch it before you go into the grounds. There were no signs of any kind indicating that, and I was not privy to that information. Now, for the nightmare. There was an exit near turn 7 where you could take the shuttle back to the Grandstand. It drops you off about 100 yards from the Grandstand entrance. I got disoriented, so I asked the shuttle driver how to get to the Expo Shuttle pickup spot.......he had no idea and had never heard of the Expo Shuttle. So, I walked all the way up to the Grandstand entrance and started asking people who worked there for directions. Nobody knew or had knowledge of any Expo Shuttle. I asked a person who was directing people at the crosswalk and told me that it was over the turn 3. I started walking, and I soon realized nothing looked familiar. I must have walked for 45 minutes looking for the shuttle pickup spot. I must have asked 8 people, and no one knew much less heard of the Travis County Expo Shuttle. I was so lost that I ended up on the main road, totally disoriented and frustrated. It was then that I was actually considering taking an Uber back to the Expo; they all wanted 40 dollars. A young guy in a golf cart noticed that I was in distress and he offered to help me find the pickup spot. We must have driven around for about 30 minutes. People who were working the event kept giving us misinformation and were literally guessing where the pickup spot was. We finally found a crossing guard who actually knew where the pickup spot was located. I was totally frustrated that no one knew or had heard of the Travis County Expo Shuttle. But there it was......there was literally a sign saying " Expo / Rideshare " pickup. But looking at the sign or the banner from the Grandstand Entrance point of view, it was backwards. There was a walkway leading to the pickup site. I must have been 20 yards from the sign when I asked an attendant where the shuttle pickup spot was located, and it was there that I was given wrong directions, which started my whole nightmare. I was literally lost for an hour and a half. No one seemed to know or much less heard of the Travis County Expo Shuttle service. I went down that walkway and walked another 3/4 of a mile to the shuttle, got on the bus, and finally got to the Exp about 20 minutes later. I was totally exhausted, frustrated, dying of thirst, but glad that the nightmare had finally ended. But hold on, once the bus dropped me off at the expo, I still had to walk another 1/4 mile to my car. What a nightmare. read more
