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.
