United States Grand Prix's Future Confirmed As F1 Announces New Deal

The long-term future of the United States Grand Prix in Formula 1 has been confirmed with a new deal.

F1 has announced the Circuit of the Americas will remain on the calendar until at least the end of the 2034 season, continuing its presence well into a third decade on the schedule.

COTA has forged its place as a modern classic with a challenging track modeled with sections based on some of the most famous locations in motorsport, becoming a fan favorite since its first race in 2012.

Future confirmed

Attendance records have been broken since F1 returned to Austin, Texas after the Covid pandemic with over 430,000 fans descending on the venue during recent years.

It has been at the forefront of the evolution of how F1 weekends are presented to fans, with the ever-strengthening ties between sport and entertainment triggered by COTA's commitment to star-studded concerts across its event.

COTA will host F1's first Grid Gig when Drake Milligan performs as cars make their way to the grid for Sunday's grand prix, while a new premium members club at the top of the Turn 1 hill has been announced.
