Seeing a live Formula One race is at the top of just about every fan’s list, and this one comes with a bonus: it’s located in one of the hottest destinations in the country, let alone the south, and gives you an amazing excuse to take in a one-of-a-kind Texas autumn. This three-day event features both practice and qualifying rounds as well as the ultimate race itself so you’ll get an up-close and personal view of exactly how much heart and soul goes into this kind of racing.
The main attraction at the Grand Prix is, of course, the races themselves, which attendees can view from one of the many top-of-the-line trackside areas set aside for that purpose. For example, the Formula One Paddock Club grants you insider, behind-the-scenes access to the F1 Pit Lane, as well as a guided lap on the drivers’ parade truck and much, much more.
But you don’t have to spring for club access to enjoy the race from the grandstands -- or to take advantage of the many levels of hospitality the organization puts on offer. Catered meals, complimentary bar service, and sparkling-clean private restrooms await at many ticket levels, as well as shaded, covered seating with TV monitors to make sure you don’t miss a single mile.
The practice races will take place on Friday (Oct. 18) and Saturday (Oct. 19) The qualifying race will proceed on Saturday after the practice races. Finally, on Sunday, October 20, qualifiers will duke it out for the championship position, powering up the signature 133-foot climb into Turn 1, where they’ll pull almost four time the force of gravity before heading into their second turn and a series of high-speed corners. Strap in for a thrilling ride!
The 2024 U.S. Grand Prix will take place in Austin, Texas at the Circuit of the Americas, which can be found at the following address:
9201 Circuit of the Americas Boulevard, Austin, Texas 78617
