Found the best seats!
by anjthrasher on 4/27/17Circuit of The Americas - AustinRating: 5 out of 5We bought a 3 day turn 15 grandstand seats as well as paddock passes. We sat in our purchased seats once. They were great but exploring the grounds for three days let us know that a general admin ticket is what we will get next time. There are SO many great grass seats!! Turn 1 was our favorite! We sat at turn 1, 18/19, 7/8, 10/11, 15 (which was 10-15) Paddock passes are great if you're spending more than 1 day. Everyone should experience the paddocks at least once. Sometimes you have to stand & wait but we got 4 or 5 autographs....one being Alex Marquez. Got to see Vinales, Lorenzo & Zarco. You won't see Rossi unless you have special VIP passes to meet him. I didn't meet one person who saw him UNLESS you are at the autograph signing & are first in line. It's like a mosh pit. Those up front get autographs. You're up against a gate/fence & the guys walk the fence to sign. So we just stood back & took pics. Got some good ones there! Parking. We paid for Lot F because it was close to our grandstand seats. Shuttles pick you up & drop you off. Really didn't have to walk much. But on race day it was packed! We knew we were sitting at turn 1 that day so we paid $30 for off road parking right before you turn into COTA. Best decision. That day it took us less time to & from track & car. Also took less than 5 min to get out. I wouldn't suggest doing that though unless you are just going for that one day. It was a great first motogp experience. COTA is beautiful! Clean. Great food. Great employees. I can't say enough about our experience!
