History, conditions & layout

History

Circuit of the Americas was built to host a US Grand Prix with a long climb to Turn 1 and a mix of sector styles inspired by famous corners worldwide, becoming a US anchor venue through the 2010s and beyond.

Typical conditions

Central Texas autumn is often warm and dry, but can swing: sharp wind, big temperature deltas between day and night, and occasional storms that reset track grip.

Track layout & design

Anti-clockwise, undulating, with a famous steep uphill approach to a heavy braking zone, then a flowing middle sector. Mix of long-radius and tight second-gear work.
