Turn 19 is my favorite. You can see turn 1 across the track, see guys come down the back straight down into 19, and watch as the go through 20 onto the main drag.

Tweet your questions or complaints to @circuitamericas and they will respond pretty quickly during major events like the F1 USGP.

The hill at Turn 1 is the best spot, slopped hill, great views, big screen and good amenities. Bring sunscreen, a hat and wear comfortable shoes. Arrive early on race day for the best spot.

I work here every once in awhile. It's a good place and a good atmosphere. The other staff is helpful and nice and the events are fun even if I'm on the job.
Jennifer DriggersNovember 4, 2014
The track offers a variety of microbrews, local food vendors, and appeals to the masses! I have a fantastic time every year!
Matthew ClarkeNovember 18, 2012
Excellent view from turn 9 bleachers. Trams from gate to gate are nearly impossible. Prepare to walk walk walk.

Home of the X games!! Lots of fun things to do and see... MAke sure you check out the sports bar to take a break from the heat!!

A muddy disaster event experience after the rain. Also, take extra time when leaving in a ride share. The lot reserved is out back with little room for traffic. It took us 2hrs to leave during F1
Tim PeckNovember 19, 2012
They did an amazing job from start to finish on raceday. Volunteers were super friendly/informative. The shuttles kicked so much ass reducing the time to get in/out. They did need more food stands tho

The Paddock Club if you can get it, Turn 15 for Grandstand seats and Turn 11 for general admission are your best bets. However, there's really no bad spot at this amazing track.

About the only thing that will rival Texas football will be international racing. Formula One and Moto GP will make their home just outside of Austin in the small town of Elroy. Read more

Check out Lone Star Cactus at 5110 E Highway 71... its close to the track and you can buy a special gift for the plant lover in your life.

This was my 2nd yr for F1. I always have a great time! The parking arrangements were so much better & less bus time!

The cars go really fast here. Watch your mirrors and don't give up the inside in the corners.
Branden WiensNovember 21, 2012
The race was amazing! Come here! It's worth every minute! I flew halfway across the country and it was worth it!
TglPtrn MarioNovember 8, 2014
Incredible place. The track is one of the best I have ever seen. F1 was awesome!
Paul ReyJuly 29, 2013
GO THERE!!! See the MotoGP, V8 SuperCars or F1, just do it!!! GREAT track and Austin F'n rocks at night!!!!

Great track and a great city. Traffic to the track is kinda rough. And no shuttles for #MotoGP

Pro tip: be seated when the race starts. Having to get up for people who show up late is lame.
Jake GlascockNovember 17, 2013
Never go anywhere here, except for the Biergarten. Near turn 6&7. Shade, good beer, and TVs for all the good angles.

Westboro Baptist Church is at the corner of 130 and 812. Don't forget to give them the finger as you drive by!
Martin MoslerJanuary 7, 2013
Fantastic race track, invest 5 Dollars to climb up the Cobra for an incredible view over the whole track!
Jonathan C.November 3, 2019
Take the shuttle. The rideshare pickup area is at least a 25 minute walk through unlit wilderness.

Great parking spot at 9016 Elroy Road! Closer that the lot in front the tracks and no crazy long walk or overpriced parking pass.
Peter den HartogDecember 2, 2019
Great circuit. Well organized around the formula 1 race

Turn 15 grandstand has an awesome view of the end of the DRS zone. Will also be great for MotoGP.

Make sure to get there early! And do your fan store purchases early, stuff sells out quick!

Lone Star Le Mans is great, not as packed as F1 but the racing is just as awesome!

Ask about taking home some sticky tires honey that is made on site.

Good access to Lots. Long row of portapotties. Close to entrance. Good overtaking.
Jane WilliamsApril 21, 2013
Turn 15 gives a great view of most of the track. Way better than sitting on the start/finish.

If the Exxon on 812 is out of gas (again), there's another (larger!) gas station east on 812 about 5-7 minutes past Bubba's.

Best seats in the circuit. Lots of action and awesome views.

Need for Speed? Austin's got you covered. F1 races are something to see live - so if you get a chance, pick up the checkered flag and head on over.
Ron JeramiahOctober 22, 2016
Bad ass track son. Great place to take in a race 🏁
