Introduction:
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 on the GP circuit,
with a mix of fast straights and tight hairpins, with most sections
mirroring at least some part of a famous track around the world.
It was designed by well-known German architect and circuit designer
Hermann Tilke. The driving direction is counter clockwise and has a
total of 20 corners with 9 right turns and 11 left turns.
