Austin, you have certainly done it. What a fantastic venue, not just for car racing enthusiasts as we are, but also for concerts. Will be great when a few of the trees grow, unfortunately there is very little shelter from the sun and it was !00 each day we were there. If it weren't for the lack of shade I... More

If you have lots of buck in your pocket this is a brand new building and location. Fresh, up-to-date. Nice.

Amazing track and very well set out with views to all of the track.. best turn for "sitting" is probably turn 15 with great views on the s bends and back of the track. Go to the top of the tower for the start of a race as well - it was amazing. Turn 1 is so elevated it also... More

Metal bleachers, no shade, and tons of walking. Everyone who is just looking for an excuse to hate this venue just stopped reading here. Now, for those of you still reading, I can't praise this venue enough. It's an amazing place to watch a race. There isn't a bad sightline in the place, and while concessions were expensive - but...

We spent three days in November of 2012 and loved the track. We walked most of it to check out different sections and spent some time taking pictures. If you are going to be sitting for an extended amount of time I would recommend bringing a seat as the bench is metal. Seats are in full sun so be prepared... More

Excellent venue, probably more suited to F1, but still an excellent venue. Brilliant facilities, open plan, easy access to all areas and very secure.

Went there to watch the Australian V8 Supercars race. Yes, the track is new and yes it was unseasonably hot, but the lack of shade was a HUGE problem. Lots of places to sit and have a meal, but not an umbrella or shade sails to be seen. The COTA organisers should have addressed this problem when they saw the... More

What a great place to see some music! We saw Dawes, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, and The Avett Brothers on Friday night. That on top of a beautiful clear-skied 80-degree Texas summer night made for an incredible event. Can't wait to see a race at the Circuit. Excited to return for more music.

We were invited to attend the last big race before summer in Austin. The event was the Australian V8 SuperCars cars in mid-May. Our friends have season tickets of the PLS (parking, lounge, seats) type so we gladly accepted. Unfortunately just before we arrived at COTA, we discovered that we did not have the parking pass. Talking to the parking... More

What a great track, well controlled and managed by employees. I attended the Moto GP and absolutely enjoyed every second of it. It offers great views of the races going on. Plus, the amphitheatre is great, and you don't have to stay in just one place.
