Get ready to join Grand Prix Tours at the only Formula 1 race in the United States, the United States Grand Prix. Race fans will enjoy this amazing circuit that ranks among the best racing circuits in the world. The host city of Austin is always entertaining and is certainly the closest destination for US race fans on the calendar.
The Circuit of the Americas is located just a short drive from downtown Austin Texas. This 3.426 mile or 5.513 Kilometer track has been home to the United States Grand Prix since 2012. The circuit features a total of 20 turns; 11 to the left and 9 to the right. There is an elevation change of more than 100 feet or 30 meters throughout the course of 1 lap. Much of the elevation change happening at the dramatic turn 1. This 10-story uphill left hander plateaus then drops drivers back down into a series of turns, known as the S’s, that are some of the most challenging high speed turns the drivers will face all season. It comes as no surprise that the Circuit of the Americas is one of the most favored tracks among drivers and fans alike.
Grand Prix Tours has arranged the ideal United States Grand Prix weekend. Our packages include an optional 3- or 4-night stay in the city of Austin, and track transfers on both Saturday and Sunday. We will take care of ordering and confirming your desired race tickets. Friday track transfers are also included with 4-night packages. Guests are also invited to our F1 Celebrity Hosted Talk Show on Saturday night for some insider information on the teams, drivers and Sundays race. Also included is our client package comprised of our full itinerary for the weekend including F1 driver & team spotters guide, restaurant recommendations and our latest Grand Prix Tours t-shirt.
The Omni Austin Hotel Downtown is located in the heart of downtown just steps away from the Texas State Capitol and the 6th Street Entertainment District. This popular 4 star hotel features luxury accommodations, spectacular views from the rooftop pool deck, complimentary full service fitness center, business center, a restaurant, lounge and coffe kiosk in the atrium lobby. The elegant guest rooms offer mini bar, in-room safe, iron and ironing board, hairdryer, coffee maker and Internet access. Enjoy the stunning and contemporary rooftop outdoor pool deck and Jacuzzi, perfect for unwinding after a day at the circuit! Oh..did we mention that the Ferrari F1 team and Red Bull Racing stayed at the Omni over the USGP 2019!
Room service, self and valet underground parking are also available.
Extra night prices are subject to availability.
While in Austin guests of Grand Prix Tours will be delighted with our chosen accommodations and their proximity to not only the circuit for race weekend but also to local city attractions. Perhaps most well-known for its outstanding food and great live music scene Austin is also known for its general weirdness and friendly locals.
All of our chosen hotel accommodations are in downtown Austin and are conveniently located to Austin’s famous 6th street entertainment district. This historic street is made up of restaurants, bars and live music venues and is the city’s cultural and entertainment center.
Not for the faint of heart but also not far from our hotel accommodations is Austin’s Congress Avenue Bridge also known as Austin’s Bat Bridge. From March through October every evening about 20 minutes before sundown roughly 1.5 million bats emerge from under the Congress Avenue bridge. This natural wonder is truly a sight to be seen. Recommended viewing locations are directly on the bride or on the hillside across the river from the city. When getting this close you will want to be mindful of the droppings that may occur. Perhaps a restaurant or bar with a good view of the bridge is the best place to watch this nightly ritual.
Austin plays a wonderful host to Formula 1 fans every year. There is no shortage of fun and interesting activities to do while not at the track. Addition nights in Austin are always recommended as the schedule for the race weekend leaves little time to explore the city properly. Please contact our office with any questions you may have about this wonderful city and or about our trip to the United States Grand Prix.
Race tickets are not included with your hotel package. Please check the "Race Tickets" tab for ticket options.

David Coulthard and Karun Chandhok, Sky Sports F1 race commentator joined us last year and we had a great evening getting to know about the life of a Formula 1 driver.
David has driven for Williams F1, McLaren and Red Bull during his driving career in F1 from 1994-2008, and during that time has finished 2nd and 3rd in the "World Drivers Championship". Now a presenter, commentator, journalist and Mercedes Brand Ambassador and very much still involved in the works of Formula One. Davids experience and humor was enjoyed by all!
In 2019 we were excited to bring you a new host for Grand Prix Tours, Karun Chandhok.
A multiple race winner and podium finisher in GP2, Karun was a test driver for the Red Bull Racing Formula 1 team in 2007 and 2008, before going on to race in Formula 1 for Hispania Racing and Team Lotus in 2010 and 2011 respectively.
Since 2012, he has been competing in Sportscars, finishing in the top 6 in class at Le Mans in 2012, 2013 and 2015. Karun also joined Mahindra Racing for the all new Formula E series, in 2014-2015.
Karun was born into a motor racing family where his father, grandfather and even grandmother used to race! After winning the Indian National Championship on debut in 2000, he won the Formula Asia Championship in 2001 before moving to England where he was a front-runner in Formula 3. Karun went back to Asia and won the Asian Renault V6 series in 2006, which served as a launch pad up to GP2 and then Formula 1.
More recently he worked with Sky Sports F1 in the UK and BeIN Sports in Qatar and in 2016 joined the team at Channel 4 in the UK for their Formula 1 broadcast. He is a regular columnist for the world's leading motorsport magazine, Autosport.
