Using my phone wasn’t an issue closer to turns 7-9 and closer to the main grandstand. I thought I would watch F1TV while on track, but the signal would go in and out.

There’s no cell phone signal at the back end of the circuit.

The food and beverage lines were atrocious. When I say “less” people, I’m just comparing it to other areas, but it was still a good deal of people. It took a minute to get there, but there were “fewer” people out there, and the bathrooms were clear all the time.

My original intention was to sit around Turn 12, but we got lost. We sat at turn 11, which was at the furthest end of the track.That’s why they pay the big bucks, I guess. There aren’t many live screens that are viewable unless you’re sitting in a grandstand.So you will need to decide if you’re going to sit closer to the main grandstand or a higher elevation or around the MOST people.

You’re not going to get a full view of the race track. You need to figure out your vibe before getting to the race, so you know what you want to see the most.

Ignore the “map” of where you can sit.

But if you’re looking to save money, the single tickets are available closer to the date of the race. The three-day access is still the best deal, and I will be sure to buy my tickets immediately when ticket sales open up for 2022. I would have just purchased Sunday tickets instead if I had known. I jumped on my chance to buy Saturday tickets, and then the next day, Sunday tickets opened up. I thought I missed out on my F1 weekend experience when tickets sold out in June, and I did not know they would open up single-day tickets for sale around August. I also spotted people with their water bottles (hydro flasks and other bottles), which should have been a prohibited item from the list. There were refill stations for your water bottles around the circuit.

The rules say you can bring one sealed water bottle into COTA.

But I did have some delicious brisket Mac and cheese for $14, which was an excellent price for something out there. I bought my beverages from one of the walk around sellers. Beer was $9 – $12, and I didn’t even make it to the cocktail line. Do you want a whole pizza? That will be $42. Also, remember it’s hilly out there, so you’re going to get your workout in trying to get to your spot. Don’t wear shoes you care about or open-toed shoes if you don’t like your feet being dirty. There will be a lot of walking on some dirt and gravel paths. There is a shuttle that transports you around COTA, but it’s faster to walk around.That’s a big reason to get there early so you can snag the things you want. Please don’t wait to buy your merch because the later in the day it gets, the longer the lines.You don’t have to buy the stuff in the Grand Plaza. It was very frantic with people buying stuff. There are many other places along the way which carry just about the same things. But the Grand Plaza isn’t the only place to purchase merchandise. The Grand Plaza is the place where everyone bought their merchandise, myself included.Be in the know of what is going on and what time things will start.

We enjoyed watching the Women’s Race Series and watching Danny Ric drive Dale Earnhart’s car around the track.

Check the schedule to know what’s going on throughout the day.

I’m not sure about the actual race day, but the staff seemed a bit overwhelmed Saturday morning. There was only one medal detector operational on the qualifying morning in our line. It felt like it took forever, but it wasn’t a long time of waiting. We walked through the metal detectors at 9:55 am. We hopped on an 8:30 am shuttle from Barton Creek Mall and arrived at COTA at 9:15 am.

Wear sunscreen, bring sunglasses, bring a hat, and stay hydrated.

It’s very convenient to get to the race and afterward the race. The shuttles are $40/day and drop you off at the front gate. There is no way I would pay for parking at COTA because I would imagine it would be a nightmare to get out of there.

Take the shuttles provided from Downtown Austin or Barton Creek Mall.

Any F1 fan is grateful to have the experience to see a race in person. It’s an experience I’ll never forget and I can’t wait to go back to the circuit. I had my first Formula 1 (F1) United States Grand Prix 2021 this past weekend at COTA ( Circuit of the Americas), and this was the perfect time to provide some tips for attending the United States Grand Prix.
