F1 in Texas: The American race that fans love to attend
Ars spends the weekend with the Audi Revolut F1 team at the Circuit of the Americas.
Audi arranged transportation and lodging for Ars to attend the US Grand Prix at the Circuit of the Americas (COTA) in Austin, Texas. Once at risk of being removed from the Formula 1 calendar due to lack of interest, COTA has become one of the most popular tracks on the F1 circuit. Unlike Miami or Las Vegas, which host temporary street circuits, COTA features a permanent race track with run-off areas and various elevation changes.
The track layout, designed by Kevin Schwanz, offers a mix of corner speeds, challenging turn sequences, and heavy braking zones. Ars has extensively explored the track across different vehicles and during various racing events, including Formula 1, World Endurance Championship, and IMSA races.
