Circuit of the Americas Races Tickets

COTA Main grandstands have such limited sight of the track that you only get to see about 5% of the race. At $185 per this is a big rip-off boarding on fraud. The COTA and NASCAR seating maps do not adequately show that there is a four story building stretching the entire length of the main grandstand blocking your view. The video screens provided of the other 95% of the race are very small and the camera views are EXTREMELY limited. However, if your idea of an entertaining race is watching just the pit stops and the drag race up the front stretch go for it.

I was there on Saturday only. the finish of the xfinity race was outstanding. But, (1) A very long walk from the parking lot (F) to the entrance. I ended up having to walk back and forth 3 times throughout the day, so a LOT of walking. They don't tell you this. It appeared there was only 1 entrance for the whole park. Not designed for the fans. (2) I bought a small cup of coffee... $8.66 !! And it actually tasted bad, as if it had been sitting quite a long time. It was 9:30 in the morning. (3) I had a reserved seat in the turn 15 grandstand. It was very unclear to me if I was in the correct section or not. Fortunately, it wasn't crowded, so it didn't matter. (4) Personally I'm not a fan of the electronic-only ticket. More passwords and digging for your phone and drilling down to get the barcode every time you enter and leave the park. There were a lot of food options, and what I had was very good.
