THE CIRCUIT

This combination of fast straights and complex corner sequences makes COTA one of the most demanding circuits on the calendar — especially the “esses” in Sector 1 and the hard‑braking zones.

This early‑season position means the Austin round often influences the first major momentum shifts among title contenders.
