Most Requested Stands
12, 15, 1 & Main Grandstand

Turn 12 - The Turn 12 stand has quickly become one of the most popular locations for fans to watch the race. The cars come screaming down the backstretch heading towards the final few turns and stand 12 is in the perfect location to catch all the action. Stand 12 consists of 14 sections that go 36 rows high and 26 seats across. Section 9 within Turn 12 stand would put you closest to the Turn 12 turning area. The fence goes up to about row 6. With Turn 12 stand we suggest bringing a stadium seat cushion since Turn 12 has bleacher style seating. Choose a LOT "F" parking pass.

Turn 15 - Situated in the last set of turns before the drivers make their way to the PIT and the Finish Line, Turn 15 has become one of the most popular and exciting locations to sit. Turn 15 consists of 25 sections broken down by the Small and Large Stand. The Small Stand goes from Section 1 - 7 and the Large Stand goes from Sections 8 through 25. Each section is 35 rows high and 16 seats across. Seats above row 5 have no obstructions and look over the fence. With Turn 15 stand seats we suggest you choose a LOT "F" parking pass. -The fence goes up to about row 6. Turn 15 is a premium grandstand with seat backs and cup holders.  Which section is the best place to sit in Turn 15?  Honestly, they're all good.  Sections 1-7 will put you closest to the hairpin turn and Sections 8-25 will give you excellent views of the cars making their passes while accelerating towards the overpass located just past section 25.   My personal preference would be to sit in Turn 15 sections 8-15 as the seats in these sections give you an excellent view of the hairpin turn as well as you get to see all the action as the cars zoom past eachother on the way to the overpass at the end of Turn 15.   Another question we get is how high up do I need to be to see the action?  The simple answer is not too high and not too low.   Rows 5 and higher have no obstructions from the fence.  The prices go up after row 12 and row 25 due to the price changes set by the COTA box office, but personally I found the seats around row 10 to be ideal to take in all the action.  Not too high and not too low.

Turn 1 - Coming out of the pit the drivers will scream past the stands in Turn 1. In Turn 1 there are 8 sections. Section 1 is closest to the Main Grandstand and Section 8 is the furthest away from the Main Grandstands. The stands in Turn 1 go 66 rows high and about 20 seats across in each section. The fence goes up to about row 6. For Turn 1 stand, we recommend parking in LOT "T". Turn 1 is a premium grandstand with seat backs and cup holders.

View from Turn 1 - To your left you can see the Main Grandstand Area and the Paddock Club. To your right you can see the main straightaway where cars will reach their top speeds. Turn 1 is one of the most popular reserved seating areas.

The Main Grandstand - The view from the Main Grandstand is simply amazing: At the start the race cars will get into a line up in formation on the racetrack according to their qualifying runs. The race car will be reving their engines super load and will await the red lights go out. From the start the formula one drivers will make their moves to advance the 134 foot hill into Turn 1. When the race comes to the end, fans sitting in the Main Grandstand area will be able to see the winning car take the checkered flag and soon thereafter the winner will come to the podium to soak themselves in Champagne!

BLEACHER SEATING

Turn 9 stands has 9 sections and goes 37 rows high and 26 rows across. This is a fun place to sit to watch the cars reach top speeds as they move down the track. For this section I would recommend getting seats in the top 10 rows for the best viewing areas. We recommend Parking LOT "L".

Turns 3, 4, 5, 11 - Turn 11 consists of two separate stands the first with 8 sections each going 27 rows high and about 26 seats across. Section 8 would put you closest into the turn 11 and on the other side of the turn the stands here have an additional 14 sections each also going 27 rows high and 26 seats across. The closest section coming out of turn 11 would be section 1. For these sections we recommend Parking Lot L.

Turn 4 Grandstand ( Not available for 2021 ) - The Turn 4 Grandstand is in the ideal position to watch the action on the outside of these corners, with a giant video screen opposite to keep up with the race.

Turn 18 & 19 Bleachers - Seat type:

Bench-style bleachers

The Turn 18 and 19 bleachers are located just on the outside of turn 18. You'll have a view of the cars passing along from turn 18, turning at 19 in front of the stand, and making their way towards the final turn 20. On qualifying day, the cars will line up and begin to build up speed for the all-important quali run. On race day, desperation takes hold as exciting moves can be expected as the Grand Prix draws to an epic conclusion. This stand is also close to the Grand Plaza, putting the fans here in prime position to see the race and enjoy the fan zone atmosphere and concessions.

General Admission Tickets - This is the most economical way to take in all three days of the US Grand Prix in Austin. The General Admission area at COTA (Circuit of The Americas) has gained a great reputation for being one of the best general admission experiences in motorsports. Thanks to the many hillsides and elevation changes, you're sure to find the perfect grassy area to place a folding chair or a blanket and take in all the action. GA areas are located throughout the Circuit in close proximity to concessions and merchandise areas. All patrons, including GA ticket holders get access to watch the concerts at the end of the day.
