Race Circuits

The 2026 season will see the 15th edition of the US GP at the COTA circuit in Austin, Texas with the track a popular one for drivers and fans alike.

A track known for overtaking and very good racing, both local and travelling fans make for a great atmosphere all weekend long. Whether it was Kimi Raikkonen’s final win in F1 or the heated teammate battle in 2015 between Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg, there have been plenty of highlights over the years.

A particular highlight of the circuit is the 133m rise from the main straight into turn 1. Thanks to a USA driver being on the grid for the first time since 2015 in Logan Sargeant, the atmosphere is set to step up in 2023.

  • Circuit Length – 5.51km

CIRCUIT OF THE AMERICAS: HISTORY AND CONSTRUCTION

The Circuit of the Americas (COTA) was the first Formula One circuit specifically designed and purpose-built in the United States. The project was conceived in 2010 by promoter Tavo Hellmund and World Motorcycle Champion Kevin Schwantz, with design assistance from renowned German architect Hermann Tilke.

Construction began on 31 December 2010 and the circuit officially opened on 21 October 2012, just 21 months later.

The circuit was constructed on approximately 900 acres of undeveloped land in southeast Travis County near Austin, Texas, about 10 miles southeast of Austin city centre with backing from Texas billionaire Red McCombs.

The project cost over $300 million, utilizing GPS-based 3D paving equipment and specialized pacing machinery to meet FIA specifications. The first layer of asphalt was completed on 3 August 2012, with the final layer finished on 21 September 2012.

The inaugural Formula One United States Grand Prix took place on 18 November 2012, marking F1's return to the United States after a five-year absence, won by Lewis Hamilton driving for McLaren-Mercedes.

RACING AT CIRCUIT OF THE AMERICAS: F1 CARS AND DRIVING EXPERIENCE

The Circuit of the Americas is a 3.426-mile (5.514 km) permanent circuit featuring 20 turns with dramatic elevation changes totaling 133 feet (41 meters). The circuit is known for its demanding uphill Turn 1, a sharp blind left-hander at the crest of the steepest climb, which has become one of the most distinctive and photographed corners in modern Formula One.

The track features a mix of high-speed corners inspired by legendary circuits worldwide, including Silverstone's Maggotts-Becketts-Chapel complex at Turns 3-5, Suzuka's Esses, and Nürburgring-style sections.

The 0.62-mile back straight provides excellent overtaking opportunities through the DRS zone, with cars reaching speeds over 200 mph (322 km/h).

Counter-clockwise layout and technical corners demand precise driving and setup optimization, testing car balance and driver commitment. The bumpy track surface, created by the soft soil beneath the circuit, has been a persistent characteristic requiring drivers to adapt their driving style.

LEGENDARY DRIVERS AT CIRCUIT OF THE AMERICAS

Formula One legends who have raced at COTA include Sebastian Vettel, who won the inaugural 2013 race, Fernando Alonso, Kimi Räikkönen, Valtteri Bottas, and Nico Rosberg. The circuit has hosted many historic driver battles and championship-deciding moments throughout its history.

US GRAND PRIX: MOST WINS RECORD

Lewis Hamilton holds the record for most wins at Circuit of the Americas with five victories (2012, 2014, 2015, 2017, 2019), including four consecutive wins from 2014 to 2017. Hamilton clinched the drivers' championship twice at COTA, in 2015 and 2019, cementing his status as the circuit's most successful driver.

Max Verstappen has won three times at COTA, while Charles Leclerc claimed his first COTA victory in 2024. Kimi Räikkönen won in 2018 after a 114-race winless streak dating back to 2013.

MOST FAMOUS US GRAND PRIX RACES AND MEMORABLE MOMENTS

The inaugural 2012 race saw Lewis Hamilton snatch victory from Sebastian Vettel in the final stages, establishing the circuit's reputation for thrilling racing. The 2015 US Grand Prix was a championship decider, with rain-soaked conditions and Hamilton's brilliant start from Turn 1 securing his third world title.

The 2018 US Grand Prix was highlighted by Kimi Räikkönen's emotional comeback victory after a 2,044-day gap since his last win, the longest drought between victories in F1 history.

The 2021 race featured an intense battle between title contenders Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton, with Verstappen's pole position and superior start setting the tone for a dominant performance.

Nico Rosberg's 2016 victory and Valtteri Bottas' 2019 win added to the circuit's roll of honour, showcasing competitive racing across multiple eras and team configurations.

WHY DRIVERS LOVE CIRCUIT OF THE AMERICAS

Drivers appreciate COTA for its challenging blend of high-speed flowing sections and technical corners that reward smooth, committed driving.

The dramatic elevation changes create unique racing characteristics not found on many circuits, with the uphill Turn 1 providing spectacular overtaking opportunities.

The circuit's design draws inspiration from iconic corners worldwide, creating a technically interesting and engaging lap that tests all aspects of driver skill and car performance.

US GRAND PRIX FAN EXPERIENCE AT CIRCUIT OF THE AMERICAS

The circuit offers impressive spectator amenities including multiple stadium grandstands and spectator mounds with sightlines of the majority of the track. A striking 251-foot (77-meter) tall observation tower provides 360-degree views of the entire circuit and Austin skyline.

Attendance figures have consistently exceeded 220,000 spectators per weekend, with record attendance reaching 269,889 in 2016.

The festival atmosphere combines world-class motorsport with the vibrant culture of Austin, featuring concerts, entertainment, and off-track activities throughout the Grand Prix weekend.

The circuit has a confirmed contract to host the US Grand Prix through at least 2026, ensuring its long-term presence on the Formula One calendar.

SURROUNDING AREAS AND AUSTIN ATTRACTIONS

Circuit of the Americas is located approximately 10 miles southeast of Austin city centre, about 2 miles from Austin Bergstrom International Airport, with easy accessibility from downtown Austin. The venue sits within scenic parkland with views of the Austin skyline and downtown area.

Austin is known as a vibrant cultural and tech hub offering world-class attractions including live music venues on 6th Street, Lady Bird Lake waterfront activities, tech company headquarters, and innovative dining experiences.

The city's reputation for exceptional food trucks, craft breweries, and nightlife makes it an ideal destination for combining Formula One racing with a broader Austin experience.

The surrounding Texas Hill Country offers scenic natural attractions, outdoor recreation, and cultural heritage within short driving distance of the circuit.

GRANDSTANDS SEATING

MAIN

Situated on the start/finish straight, the main grandstand will give you views of the pitlane, all the pre-race build up on the grid as well as the post-race podium celebrations. Being central to the action, everything you need facility-wise is situated directly behind these stands, with the food options in particular being a highlight if grilled meat is your choice.

Giant screens are located all along the straight, meaning you won’t miss any of the other action across the rest of the track.

TURN 1

View-wise, it is hard to go past the Turn 1 Grandstand thanks to the unique steep climb from the start/finish straight to the first corner. This is the place to be for the start of the race, witnessing all 20 cars fight for position at the 90-degree Turn 1, all while climbing a 133-metre rise.

You will have front-on view of the starting grid and the main straight, while also being able to see cars exit pitlane into the apex of the first corner. The seats at Turn 1 come with backs and cupholders.

TURN 4

A smaller and more budget-friendly stand, Turn 4 is situated in the fast and twisty section of turns toward the end of the first sector. While you won’t see many overtakes, Turn 4 stand will still have plenty of photo opportunities, with the famous observation tower close by as well as the Stars & Stripes run-off at these corners.

You will have three large screens visible from the seats, meaning you can keep track of the weekend proceedings.

TURN 6

The newest stand at the COTA and the sole grandstand on the infield section, Turn 6 Grandstand will give you a fantastic view of the esses. While in a similar position to Turn 4 Grandstand, Turn 6 will give you a front-on view of the cars coming through this fast section of track which is modelled after the famous Maggots and Becketts section at Silverstone.

TURN 9

Sat on the outside of the track, the elevated Turn 9 Grandstand gives you a vast view of multiple corners. From these seats, you will be able to see cars exit Turn 7 and descend into the next few corners before entering the Turn 11 hairpin and onto the back straight. There is a giant screen directly in front of the Turn 9 Grandstand.

TURN 12

One of the most popular stands at COTA, Turn 12 is perched right at the end of the long back straight. Thanks to the nature of the circuit, you can see the majority of the track from this grandstand, particularly if you are seated in the higher rows.

Here you will have views of overtakes into Turn 12 and this stand is only a short 5-10 minute walk from the F1 Fanzone where you will have plenty of activities to keep you entertained between sessions.

TURN 15

Along with Turn 12, the Turn 15 Grandstand will also give you views of a large amount of the circuit, albeit from a distance. Closest to your seats, you will be able to see overtakes into Turn 12 as well as the following three corners which is often the site of on-track battles and incidents.

Like Turn 12, Turn 15 has a giant screen and is a short walk from the main Fanzone.

TURN 19

A relatively new stand added in recent years, Turn 19 Grandstand’s seating comes with backs and cupholders. Here you will see the cars come downhill on the exit of Turn 18 and take the flat-out left hander before entering the final corner on the main straight.

Turn 19 Grandstand is also located close to the F1 Fanzone so you are never far away from anything you need refreshment or activity-wise.

Sitting on the Marina Bay of Singapore, the Singapore Grand Prix has been a mainstay of the F1 calendar since its inception in 2008. The Singapore Grand Prix has become an instant icon, making many headlines in its 13-race history – none less than being the inaugural Formula One race at night.

Due to the climate, this track is a true test of a driver’s skill and concentration, with cockpit temperatures climbing to as high as 60ºC - despite the race being at night. The track itself is set for some changes for the 2023 race which will reduce the overall lap time by around 20 seconds.

This also means that there will be one fewer grandstand available in 2023, with the Bay Grandstand unavailable for use. No grandstands at the Marina Bay circuit are covered, so bring a poncho – but you will have giant screens viewable from every seated position on the track.

  • Circuit Length – 4.92km
  • Number of Laps – 63
  • Race Distance – 310.46km
  • Max Speed – 323km/h
  • Average Temperature in September – 25-31c
  • Currency – SGD (Singapore Dollar)
  • Closest Airport – Changi International Airport
  • Language – English, Malay, Mandarin, Tamil

MARINA BAY CIRCUIT: HISTORY AND CONSTRUCTION

The Marina Bay Street Circuit was designed by legendary circuit architect Hermann Tilke and refined by KBR Inc., with construction beginning in August 2007.

Construction of the pit complex and track sections began in mid-2007, with the circuit opening on August 31, 2008, following approximately S$ 333 million in construction costs.

The inaugural Singapore Grand Prix at Marina Bay took place on 28 September 2008, marking the 15th round of the 2008 Formula One World Championship. Singapore became the first Formula One venue to host a night-time race in F1 history, with the race held entirely after sunset under floodlights.

The circuit is 4.927 km (3.061 mi) long, featuring a harbourside location similar in style to the Circuit de Monaco and Valencia Street Circuit. The circuit is a hybrid design, with approximately 25% of the circuit being custom-built and the other 75% utilizing public city streets.

RACING AT MARINA BAY: F1 CARS AND DRIVING EXPERIENCE

The Marina Bay Circuit is one of the most physically demanding on the calendar, with its bumpy street surface coupled with humid conditions, causing drivers to lose as much as 3kg in body weight over the course of a race.

The circuit features 19 turns (following the 2023 layout change from the original 23), with tight corners and long straights requiring precision and control at high speeds.

The street circuit is narrow, and stray too far from the racing line and you can find yourself in the wall, requiring exceptional precision driving.

Singapore's humidity is rarely below 70%, with the risk of heavy rain a persistent threat, combining with the track layout and bumpy surface to create one of the most physically challenging circuits.

LEGENDARY DRIVERS AT MARINA BAY CIRCUIT

Numerous Formula One legends have raced at the Singapore Grand Prix since 2008. Sebastian Vettel dominated the early years of the Singapore Grand Prix, winning multiple times and leading the drivers' championship by over 100 points in 2011.

Other legendary drivers including Ayrton Senna, Lewis Hamilton, Fernando Alonso, and Michael Schumacher have all left their mark at Marina Bay.

SINGAPORE GRAND PRIX: MOST WINS RECORD

Sebastian Vettel has the most wins at the Singapore Grand Prix, with five victories. Lewis Hamilton follows with multiple wins at the venue, including a memorable 2014 victory when he passed Nico Rosberg on the final lap.

MOST FAMOUS SINGAPORE GRAND PRIX RACES AND MEMORABLE MOMENTS

The first race in 2008 was won by Fernando Alonso driving for Renault, though that result has since been tarnished by controversy when Renault were found to have ordered Nelson Piquet Jr. to crash, as the ensuing safety car would strongly benefit Alonso.

In 2011, Sebastian Vettel won from his 11th pole of the season, demonstrating his dominance that year. Lewis Hamilton's 2014 victory is notable when he passed Nico Rosberg on the final lap to take the checkered flag.

The 2023 Singapore Grand Prix was praised widely and awarded titles such as 'Best Race' by international media, with Carlos Sainz taking victory.

WHY DRIVERS LOVE MARINA BAY CIRCUIT

The track passes several local landmarks including the Singapore Flyer, Supreme Court, and Parliament, creating a spectacular backdrop for racing. The combination of night racing under floodlights, challenging street circuit characteristics, and exciting race conditions makes Marina Bay a unique Formula One venue.

The circuit's unique night-time format, spectacular city backdrop, and exciting racing conditions create an electrifying atmosphere that drivers enjoy competing at.

UNIQUE SAFETY CAR RECORD

The circuit held a unique record of having at least one safety car appearance in every Grand Prix until the 2024 race, with a total of 24 safety car deployments in 16 races. This unusual streak highlights the demanding and unpredictable nature of the Singapore Grand Prix.

SINGAPORE GRAND PRIX FAN EXPERIENCE

The first race in 2008 was a resounding success, receiving widespread acclaim from teams, drivers, and fans alike for its organisation, challenging circuit, and overall spectacle.

The Marina Bay Circuit offers various viewing areas including multiple grandstands with excellent sightlines of the racing action. The circuit features about 1/2 km of straight with grandstands between the track and river, and a large pit/media building.

In 2023, energy-efficient LED lights replaced the existing lighting around the track, reducing energy consumption by around 30%, whilst providing adequate light levels for night racing.

SURROUNDING AREAS AND SINGAPORE ATTRACTIONS

The Marina Bay Street Circuit is centrally located in Singapore's Downtown Core and Kallang areas, providing easy access to world-class attractions. The circuit passes beneath one of the spectator grandstands in the latter stages of the lap, creating a unique architectural experience.

Singapore offers vibrant attractions including the iconic Singapore Flyer, world-class shopping districts, Michelin-starred restaurants, and diverse cultural attractions.

The city-state's modern architecture, tropical setting, and cosmopolitan culture make it an ideal destination for Formula One fans combining the Grand Prix with a wider Singapore experience.

GRANDSTANDS SEATING

PIT

The Pit Grandstand at Singapore is one of the longer and more extravagant grandstands on the F1 calendar. Being a long grandstand, the pit grandstand has a full view of the start/finish straight.

Encapsulating a DRS zone, you are guaranteed to see action, and with the short run to turn 1 there is always the chance of a start line incident such as Raikkonen, Vettel and Verstappen’s in 2018. You will be able to soak in the atmosphere building up pre-race, as well as the podium celebrations.

SUPER PIT

Sitting just above the pit grandstand is the luxurious Super Pit Grandstand. Here you will enjoy all the fantastic views that the pit grandstand with the benefits of sitting in a higher position. The Super Pit Grandstand also provides you with priority access, and a more comfortable padded seat.

TURN 2

Semi-attached to the Turn 1 Grandstand is the Turn 2 Grandstand, here you will have a front-on view of the main straight and first three corners. While Turn 2 Grandstand feels slightly more set back from the track than its sister grandstand, the views provided well and truly make up for it.

Turn 2 Grandstand provides unrivalled views of the race start, as you watch all 20 cars shoot off the line looking to gain positions into the first three corners.

STAMFORD

At the end of the longest straight on the track is the Stamford Grandstand. Here you will have a high chance of seeing plenty of overtakes throughout the race – not only is the Turn 7 section of the track at the end of a long DRS zone, but there is also a large run off at the 90-degree corner which allows the drivers more options to try an overtake.

You will have plenty of photo and video opportunities in the Stamford Grandstand.

PADANG A & B

On the short straight between turns 9 and 10 are the Padang A & B grandstands. Here you will see cars accelerating through this section in order to get the best entry into the Turn 10 chicane.

The Padang Grandstands are a unique section of the circuit, sat between the main concert stage means the atmosphere is electric all weekend long. You will find many food and drink options conveniently located around the Padang Grandstands.

CONNAUGHT

The final grandstand before the main straight – the Connaught Grandstand – is another option to see wheel-to-wheel action and incidents. You will be sitting on the inside of Turn 14 which is a tight right-hander at the end of another DRS Zone.

There has been plenty of action at this section of track over the years. Photo opportunities abound, here you will have a great chance to see the iconic sparks of an F1 car under the lights as they fly down the back straight. Food, drinks, amenities and souvenirs sit right behind the Connaught Grandstand for your convenience.

While the Empress (or Orange @ Empress) Grandstand is the smallest one in Singapore, it well and truly makes up for it with how close to the track you will feel. The Empress Grandstand is sat between the Turn 11 and 12 section and is located right in front of the picturesque Victoria Theatre.

Here you will see F1 cars at the peak of their braking ability, as they cross the iconic Anderson Bridge.

BAY

A sight to behold, the Bay Grandstand is one of the largest grandstands on the entire Formula One calendar with 27,000 seats. The Bay Grandstand has a fantastic view of Marina Bay and is hugely popular with spectators.

Located just before the final set of corners of the lap, here you will see the cars shoot down a short straight and drive directly under the grandstand. The corner itself under the grandstand is a tight left hander with walls on either side, always a tricky proposition for the drivers to navigate.

Another in the selection of new F1 tracks on the calendar, Jeddah became the fifth Formula One night race from 2021.

It was the scene of an epic World Championship showdown between Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton in its first edition in November 2021, with the 2022 race also providing plenty of highlights at the start of the season.

A street circuit with the Jeddah Corniche on one side and the city on the other, the Jeddah circuit is the second longest track on the calendar behind Spa; as well as being on average the second fastest circuit behind Monza.

With two eventful races in its short history already, the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix is sure to provide much entertainment over the coming years.

JEDDAH CORNICHE CIRCUIT: HISTORY AND CONSTRUCTION

The Jeddah Corniche Circuit is a motor racing street circuit in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, designed by Carsten Tilke, son of the famed circuit designer Hermann Tilke.

Construction began in April 2021, just over eight months before the inaugural race was scheduled, requiring 37,000 tons of asphalt, 600,000 tons of cement, 30,000 square metres of bricks and 1,400 tons of glass.

The circuit staged the inaugural Saudi Arabian Grand Prix on 5 December 2021 as the penultimate race on the 2021 Formula One season calendar. The circuit is located on the Jeddah Corniche adjoining the Red Sea, approximately 12 km north of the city centre.

The Formula One track has a length of 6.174 km (3.836 mi), the third longest on the Formula One calendar after Spa-Francorchamps and Las Vegas.

It is also the fastest street course, with a record average speed of 254.6 km (158.2 mi) for the 2025 pole position.

RACING AT JEDDAH CORNICHE: F1 CARS AND DRIVING EXPERIENCE

Named as the "fastest street track" on the Formula 1 calendar, drivers can average around 250km/h (160mph). The circuit features 27 turns and 3 potential DRS detection zones, providing plenty of opportunities for drivers to gain an advantage and overtake their rivals.

Top speeds at Jeddah reach 322km/h, with the hairpin at Turn 13 featuring twelve degrees of banking. The circuit's narrow confines combined with high speeds make it one of the most challenging and crash-prone venues on the Formula One calendar.

The circuit skirts the Red Sea and encircles a lagoon, producing spectacular racing under floodlights. From 2022 to 2024, the race was held in March, the weekend before Ramadan, and since 2025, the race is held in April, after Ramadan.

EXCITING MOMENTS AT THE SAUDI ARABIAN GRAND PRIX

The inaugural 2021 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix was a historic event in Formula One history. The inaugural Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, held on December 5, 2021, was a dramatic event filled with multiple crashes and intense battles, particularly between Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen, who were contending for the championship.

In the championship battle, Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton were separated by just eight points before arriving in Jeddah with two races remaining.

The race at Jeddah was laced with toxicity, controversy and acrimony, with the officials struggling to retain control of the situation, with Verstappen twice going wide into Turn 1 and missing Turn 2 to hold position.

SAUDI ARABIAN GRAND PRIX: MOST WINS RECORD

Since Lewis Hamilton won the first Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, Red Bull have won all three editions since, with one-two finishes in 2023 and 2024. Max Verstappen has won multiple times at Jeddah, including his ninth consecutive race win at the 2024 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.

MOST FAMOUS SAUDI ARABIAN GRAND PRIX RACES

Hamilton's 2021 victory at Jeddah was one of his hardest-fought, with both he and Verstappen looking utterly drained after the grueling race that featured dramatic moments and multiple penalties.

In 2022, the final 10 laps saw a battle for the ages between Verstappen and Charles Leclerc, with each lap seeing changes in the race lead, as both drivers realised a trick to manipulate the DRS detection points.

In 2024, Oliver Bearman made a Ferrari debut at just 18 years and 305 days old, becoming one of the youngest drivers to debut in Formula One after Carlos Sainz was sidelined by appendicitis.

WHY DRIVERS LOVE JEDDAH CORNICHE CIRCUIT

Current F1 drivers have described Jeddah as 'really quick', 'pretty insane', 'crazy' and offering excellent racing opportunities. The unique combination of high-speed straights, technical corners, and the stunning coastal setting along the Red Sea creates an exhilarating racing experience.

Drivers appreciate the fast, flowing nature of the wide boulevards built during Jeddah's development, offering a beautiful track despite its demanding characteristics.

SAUDI ARABIAN GRAND PRIX FAN EXPERIENCE

The Saudi Arabian Grand Prix is held as a full-night race on the Formula One calendar, joining the likes of Singapore and Bahrain.

The grandstands along the main straight provide an excellent view of the start/finish line and pit lane action, while the grandstands near Turn 13, a sweeping banked corner, offer a fantastic vantage point for the high-speed drama.

The circuit is set to host the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix until at least 2027, after which there are plans to move the race to a new purpose-built facility in Qiddiya.

SURROUNDING AREAS AND JEDDAH ATTRACTIONS

Jeddah is Saudi Arabia's most popular tourist region and is considered the gateway to the religiously important city of Mecca, which is a pilgrimage site for millions of Muslims each year.

The Red Sea coastal location provides a unique setting for Formula One racing, with Jeddah offering rich cultural heritage, traditional architecture, and modern attractions.

The city's waterfront provides stunning views of the Arabian coastline, and visitors can explore the historic old city while experiencing world-class motorsport action.

GRANDSTANDS SEATING

MAIN GRANDSTAND A

A covered Grandstand on the main straight, Main Grandstand A gives you a direct view of the start/finish line and the pit lane. Being a street circuit, you will feel particularly close to the action and will have a chance to get some fantastic photo opportunities of the pit crews working on the cars throughout the weekend. Close to the F1 fanzone, you are never far away from anything you need across the course of the weekend.

MAIN GRANDSTAND B

Thanks to the popularity of the inaugural race in 2021, the Main Grandstand had Grandstand B built for the 2022 race, which is further along the main straight heading into turn 1. Where Grandstand A will give you a close-up experience of the start/finish straight and pitlane, Grandstand B will allow you to catch the cars battle each other into turn 1 and through the twisty first few corners.

Grandstand B is as close as the A to the main Fanzone, and you will also have a view of the podium from your seats here.

CENTRAL GRANDSTANDS

Further down the track through Turns 4-10 sit the Central Grandstands, a set of four stands that are the only other seated options on the track. Similar to the Main Grandstands, the Central Grandstands have extended from two to four.

The action will be never far away from these seats, with this section of track a fast set of corners where, when an F1 car is in full flight, will look like it is driving on rails. Here you will see plenty of action, with these corners the scene of plenty of incidents in both the 2021 and 2022 race weekends.

You can explore the remainder of the track with a bridge in between the four stands allowing you to cross over which will give you a nice view of the waterfront.
