About the CircuitCircuit Length: 3.4 miles/20-Turns (5.5km)
Race Direction: Counter Clock wise
Top Speed: TBD
Average Speed: TBD
Circuit of The Americas will be a world-class destination for performance, entertainment, education and business. It will be the first purpose-built Grand Prix facility in the United States designed for any and all classes of racing, from motor power to human power, and be the U.S. home to the 2012 FORMULA 1 UNITED STATES GRAND PRIX™
The Circuit of The Americas’ master plan features a variety of permanent structures designed for business, education, entertainment and race use. Its signature element will be a 3.4-mile circuit track.
Other support buildings will include an expansive outdoor live music space, a conference centre, a banquet hall as well as a state-of-the-art medical facility. Future proposed amenities include a driving/riding experience, a motorsports driving club, kart track, grand plaza event centre and tower, and a trackside recreational vehicle park.

A Driver’s PerspectiveFord Performance Racing driver Mark Winterbottom sampled the Circuit of The Americas during its construction in June this year.
“This is probably as close to Bathurst as any track I’ve seen, purely because of the angulation. You’ve got blind corners, you’ve got the length, you’ve got the speed, and I think this is going to build up to be a historic track for America as well,” Winterbottom said.
“The circuit’s topography, including the dramatic changes in elevation, will make for some really fun racing and a great show for fans.”
