Circuit of the Americas Track Specifications
For any F1 fans that haven’t watched the US Grand Prix, here’s what to expect when it comes to race format.
Since 2012, the US Grand Prix has been raced at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas. The 5.513 km circuit consists of 20 turns with an elevation change of 133 feet (41 meters). Taking inspiration from multiple Formula One tracks around the world; the track includes a purposeful widening of corners and is designed to shape to the contours of the land around it.
One of the most unique aspects of the track is the direction in which it’s raced. For the majority of F1 circuits, drivers race clockwise. In Austin, however, drivers are challenged by the counterclockwise layout of the track, adding an extra layer of novelty and excitement for fans and competitors alike.
