The Circuit Of The Americas is the first purpose-built Grand Prix facility in the U.S. near Austin, Texas, with a 5.513km track and a capacity for 120,000 fans. Construction of the impressive 1000-acre facility was completed late in 2012, with MotoGP lining up at the track for the first time in 2013.
One of its more distinctive features is near 41m-elevation change with an impressive incline at the end of the home-straight followed by a sharp left. The circuit is one of the most varied on the GP circuit, with a mix of fast straights and tight hairpins, with most sections mirroring at least some part of a famous track around the world.
It was designed by well-known German architect and circuit designer Hermann Tilke. The driving direction is counter clockwise and has a total of 20 corners with 9 right turns and 11 left turns.
Автодром расположен в непосредственной близи (1.5 мили) на юго-восток от Austin-Brgstrom International Airport, откуда до трассы можно добраться на такси.
На периоды проведения Гран-При Формулы-1 и MotoGP организовано движение маршрутных автобусов (shuttles) из даунтауна Остина. Из аэропорта до города ходит регулярный рейсовый автобус (маршрут 100).
