One of the best facilities in Formula 1.

Circuit of the Americas opened in 2012 as the first purpose-built Formula 1 circuit in the United States. The layout draws from the best corners in the world. Turn 1 drops from the highest point on circuit. The Esses are lifted from Suzuka. The stadium section through turns 12 to 15 is one of the best spectating venues in motorsport.

The United States Grand Prix is one of three F1 races held in America annually. COTA in October is the longest-running of them and the one with the most established atmosphere and infrastructure.

Austin is worth the trip beyond race weekend.

Austin has built one of the best food and live music scenes in the country. The race weekend draws a crowd that treats the city as part of the experience. Staying downtown means easy access to Sixth Street, South Congress, and some of the best restaurants in Texas.

The race weekend runs October 22–26, 2026. The package includes four nights. Additional nights can be arranged.

Questions about the 2026 United States Grand Prix.

When is the 2026 United States Grand Prix?

Race day is Sunday, October 25, 2026 at Circuit of the Americas, with the Racing Passport trip window running October 22 to 26. Practice runs Friday, with final practice and qualifying on the Saturday.

Is the Austin trip open to book?

Not in the usual sense. This is Racing Passport's first Formula 1 hosted experience, Robert is on the ground for it, and it is a small group built from a warm network by invitation. If you are interested, reach out early rather than assuming there will be room later.

What makes Circuit of the Americas worth traveling for?

It opened in 2012 as the first purpose-built Formula 1 circuit in the United States, and the layout borrows from the best corners in the world. Turn 1 drops away from the highest point on the circuit, the Esses are lifted from Suzuka, and the stadium section through turns 12 to 15 is one of the best places to watch racing anywhere.

How does Austin compare to the other US Grands Prix?

There are three F1 races in America each year. Austin is the longest-running of them and has the most established atmosphere and infrastructure, which shows in how the weekend runs and how the crowd behaves.

What is there to do in Austin around the race?

Austin has one of the best food and live music scenes in the country, and the race crowd treats the city as part of the trip rather than a place to sleep. Staying downtown means Sixth Street, South Congress, and some of the best restaurants in Texas are walkable.

How does the inquiry process work?

Fill out the inquiry form and say you are interested in Austin. Because this one is invitation only and small, Robert handles the conversation personally and early.
