Plan the visit
Plan the whole race weekend
Formula 1 lists official track sessions for October 23-25, 2026. Decide whether you are attending only race day or multiple sessions before choosing lodging, transportation and ticket strategy.
Solve transportation before arrival
Circuit of the Americas is southeast of central Austin and race-weekend traffic is substantial. Use the current COTA parking or shuttle plan rather than assuming normal Austin travel times.
Separate race sessions from bonus events
Visit Austin notes an additional Grand Prix View Thursday on October 22. The official Formula 1 race weekend remains October 23-25, so confirm which experiences are included with your ticket before building a four-day itinerary.
