Visitors to Formula 1's newest race track, the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, will experience a “unique American treasure”, according to its executive Vice President Bruce Knox.
“The track contours are visible and major infrastructure features such as tunnels, drainage and retention facilities are in place. Preparation is under way for vertical construction including the grandstands, and pit and paddock buildings
The circuit has been shaped by world-renowned designer Hermann Tilke to encourage overtaking like no other, with natural elevation changes of a staggering 133ft.
COTA(Circuit of the Americas), Knox says, will be more than just another circuit. Multi-purpose facilities have been included in the design from day one in an attempt to do what so many other new circuits have failed to by making it a year-round facility.
“The partners involved with Circuit of the Americas have a defined vision to create a world-class destination that will include motor sports, entertainment, education, research and business facilities,” Knox continued.
“The decision was made from the beginning that this facility will be more than a racetrack, it will be a year-round multi-purpose facility. COTA will attract global attention to Austin and this attention will be a catalyst for competition, innovation and commerce.”
We are confident that Mr Ecclestone and Formula 1 Management will make decisions that will optimally grow and promote the sport in the US.”
