ABOUT THE TRACK
The Circuit Of The Americas is the first purpose-built Grand Prix facility in the U.S. near Austin, Texas, with a 5.513km track and a capacity for 120,000 fans. Construction of the impressive 1000-acre facility was completed late in 2012, with MotoGP™ lining up at the track for the first time in 2013. One of its more distinctive features is near 41m-elevation change with an impressive incline at the end of the home-straight followed by a sharp left. The circuit is one of the most varied of the calendar, with a mix of fast straights and tight hairpins. The driving direction is counterclockwise and has a total of 20 corners with 9 right turns and 11 left turns, and its fast changes of direction make it one of the most physically demanding of the year. Marc Marquez is the most successful rider in COTA, having won 7 of the 11 editions of the Grand Prix of the Americas. Alex Rins, Enea Bastianini and Maverick Viñales belong to the very close circle of MotoGP™ riders who have also managed to win the coveted trophy in Austin.
