US Grand Prix in Austin - Tickets

[y5e06]

Commoners should not expect to be able to drive to the circuit. Expect shuttles.

ss than 20,000 cars will be able to park at the Circuit of the Americas. Everyone else must arrive by shuttle, helicopter or bike.

However, given the number of 'festivals' and such I've attended in the area that were serviced by CapMetro buses and similar contractors, expect a massive Cluster-F' regardless.
... maybe lane splitting will be allowed

I was originally planning on loading up the truck w/ a cooler of beverages etc and just hanging out early and late to avoid the traffic problem but this puts a damper on those plans

COA is just 15 minutes from Georgetown on the tollroad. Probably 25 from RoundRock.

You are missing my point Marshall...I'll take an hour to/from the track ... It's to/from the bars I am concerned about ...

Good news for the track: general admission sold out, all 120,000 of them. Not so good news if you were thinking of going but hadn't gotten a ticket yet (like me)...

The first layer of pavement is also down all the way around the track.

Crap! I did not get mine. I assumed they would sell GA tickets till Hell froze over. Guess I will have to purchase a seat now.

Don't sit on the grass, that's where Corey drives.

Is he racing for Toro Rosso ?

If anyone is interested you can now get a 3 day parking pass @ $200 a pop for COTA in November. I'm personally weighing pros 'n' cons, but at $50 more than I paid for my 3 day event pass I might skip this just on principle...#moneygrab

"Final" race inspection is supposedly in two weeks - not the last chance FIA has to pull the rug but here's hoping all the legal crap has not stalled construction too much. Now the MotoGP race is up in the air...

Glad the track was approved!
