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.
