Getting to COTA for the United States Grand Prix
The Circuit of the Americas has fast become a legendary track on the Formula 1 calendar. Since its completion in 2012, fans have flocked to watch live motorsports as Formula 1 especially has seen an increase in popularity in the United States in recent years.
Once you’ve arrived in Austin, Texas, you’ll need to start planning how to get to the circuit, which sits around 15 miles (24km) south of the city.
It’s not the most well-connected circuit. Since 2022, the organisers have gone to extra effort to increase the number of shuttles, but the best way to get there is still by car.
Getting to COTA by car
If you intend to drive, in your own car or a hired one, there are around eight parking sites at the Circuit of the Americas as it is the most popular way to get to the US Grand Prix. Parking should be bought in advance and can be booked on the COTA site.
Drivers should be aware of the likelihood of bad traffic on race days.
Getting to COTA by taxi
Lyft and Uber are very commonly used apps across the United States. It is well worth booking in advance to avoid disappointment and a shortage of cars over the race weekend.
Getting to COTA by Shuttle
The shuttle is the best way to get to the circuit if you don’t have, or don’t want to hire a car.
There are three pick up points – note all tickets should be bought in advance.
Downtown (Red River Street) – weekend passes cost $129 and one-day passes cost $45. The pick up & drop off point is Red River Street, adjacent to Waterloo Park/Moody Amphitheater. These shuttles drop off at the track just outside the Grand Plaza gates on COTA Boulevard.
Northeast Austin (Travis County Expo Center) – weekend passes cost $89 and one-day passes cost $29. The pick up & drop off point is the Travis County Expo Center.
Southwest Austin (Barton Creek Square Mall) – Only on Saturday & Sunday. One-day passes cost $45. The pick up and drop off point is located close to JCPenney.
