One of the few anti-clockwise F1 tracks, the Circuit of the Americas is a modern circuit inspired by classic Formula One venues. Hockenheim's stadium section, Istanbul's multi-apex Turn 8 and the Becketts-Maggots complex at Silverstone – the DNA of all three is clearly present in Austin.
But Austin’s signature stretch, the steep run from the starting line up to a near-blind hairpin bend, is a true original.

So, which grandstand should you choose?
​

The Main Grandstand is the place to see that blazing-fast starting run up to Turn 1. You’ll also have great views of the pit lane, the starting grid and the team garages.

The Turn 1 Grandstand itself might be an even more thrilling choice. A sharp left-hand hairpin 133 feet above the start line, Turn 1 is a fascinating driving challenge. Because it’s uphill, drivers can brake really late and there are several different lines they can take - presenting opportunities for overtaking.

If you want to see the fastest racing, seats at Turn 4 are a good choice. F1 drivers call it the most exhilarating section of the circuit, and no wonder – you’ll see them twitch left and right at speeds up to 200mph. The seats here place you really close to the action.
​

My final pick is the Turn 15 Grandstand, which many consider the Circuit of the Americas’ best stand. You’ll have an amazing view of multiple turns, including Turn 12 – one of the most popular track section, because it’s where you’ll have a good chance of seeing some overtaking. You’ll also have a great view of the back straight, where F1 drivers can really put their foot down. So, if you want a seat that offers both speed and overtaking, Turn 15 could be the grandstand for you.​
