Circuit of The Americas is a world-class destination for performance, education and business. It is the first purpose-built Grand Prix facility in the United States designed for any and all classes of racing, from motor power to human power, and is home to the 2012 Formula 1 United States Grand Prix set for Nov. 16-18. Racing series joining the Circuit’s 2013 line-up include MotoGP, V8 Supercars and Grand-Am Road Racing.
The Circuit of The Americas’ master plan features a variety of permanent structures designed for business, education, entertainment and race use. Its signature element is a 3.4-mile circuit track. Other support buildings include an expansive outdoor live music space, an iconic 251- foot tower with observation deck, an events and conference center, a banquet hall as well as a state-of-the-art medical facility. |
