Circuit of the Americas

Capacity: 120,000

Opened: April 2013

All of America’s biggest Formula One competitions have raced on the 3.41-mile racetrack of the Circuit for the America (COTA). The F1 complex was launched in 2013, and its circuit was the first US track purposely built with Formula One races in mind.

Since 2013, it has hosted NASCAR’s Texas Grand Prix, US Grand Prix, Motorcycle Grand Prix of the Americas, a round of MotoGP, and many other competitions. Today, the track is still popularly known as one of the best circuits in America, and as F1 keeps breaking into American entertainment, it should get a lot more attention.

The Circuit of the Americas is not only a Formula 1 spot because it was built with facilities to entertain guests beyond just racing. The most iconic of all its facilities is the Germania Insurance Amphitheater. It is the most iconic because while the circuit brings big races to Texas, the Amphitheater brings popular artists and large concerts.

The architects of the Circuit built an Observation tower that can take visitors 230 feet above the ground to get a panoramic view of the beautiful circuit. Right at the base of this tower, America’s most listened-to artists have performed to large crowds in the Germania Insurance Amphitheater.
