Event overview

United States Grand Prix

A purpose-built Texan amphitheatre, crowned by the steep climb into Turn 1.

Circuit of The Americas opened in 2012 as the first purpose-built Grand Prix facility in the United States. Set on the south-eastern edge of Austin, it runs anticlockwise over rolling Texan terrain.

The lap is defined by its opening seconds: a wide start straight that rises sharply to the blind, uphill hairpin at Turn 1, followed by a rapid sequence of esses inspired by some of the most celebrated corners in Formula 1.

Circuit characteristics

  • Steep uphill run from the grid into the Turn 1 hairpin
  • High-speed esses through Turns 3 to 6
  • Stadium-style section around Turns 12 to 15
  • Observation tower overlooking the infield
