MotoGP at COTA Who's going?

Ducati Forum

Help Support Ducati Forum:

Still have my tickets from April of 2020, the nice VIP treatment (best bang for the buck I have found, F1 is <3x more expensive with a much crappier show), gonna be bummed to cancel everything if they kill the race.
 
I will be there. I have an RV spot in Lot N so I can stay the weekend. My good friend, Jeff Purk, MotoAmerica Superbike racer will be sitting with me at Turn 15. He races on Gerloff's championship Yamaha now, but I think he secretly wants to ride a Ducati again.
 
I just listened to latest paddock pass podcast. It’s a great podcast if anyone is curious. Anyway, the presenters explained that they are optimistic that Austin will not be canceled for two reasons: 1) The local government and COTA are doing everything to help Dorna; and 2) There isn’t enough time to cancel.
 
How much are the VIP packages going for? It says you have to call them.

Also, what is the best area to watch the race if you are not a lucky VIP?
 
I'd love to go to this... its truly amazing.... the DUCATI SECTION has a freaking waiting list SMDH

A lot of seats/sections are completely sold out. Turn 15 is very popular and is my personal favorite. Turn 1 is also very popular.
 
I think I am going .... Waiting on my buddy to decide to roll with me
 
T15-19 are great spots to watch, a little knoll (a "hill" in TX parlance) for good view, very fast section and trickier then it looks. Close to big screens and vendors as well. T1 looks impressive but not much going on there usually.
 
Do they even sell tickets for the big tower that's in the infield? That would be the place to watch! Me and the wife will be at T15.
 
Not going to make it this year. Unless some time frees up.
went ‘17 and ‘18 and had a blast.
‘22 could be good.

@endodoc I will be in Long Beach soon, just 2-3 days. Wanna grab a coffee?
 
my and my bro going, paddock suite. can't wait. it just better happen with all this covid crap

Yeah. Me n my wife will be there too. Was her idea to celebrate our 10th anniversary there. Too bad they aren't doing a track day before or after the races, would've loved to ride that track.

T15 for me and the missus as well...also an anniversary type trip...she's not so much into the bikes but has always wanted to see Austin

Gonna be a real tight squeeze to get to the airport in time not to mis the only Boston flight out on Sunday PM.

I've heard it could be up to 2 hrs getting out with traffic? Anyone with local knowledge have a suggestion?

John the Austin airport is very close to the track— like 5 miles or less. And — the observation tower sells tix to go up and have a gander but I don’t think you’re supposed to stay up there the whole time..

the first year we went, we camped between T1 and the Esses... so right after the race on Sunday we hopped in our rig and headed out up the hill, took a left and were basically out of there... however, if you're in one of the main lots, you might not be as lucky...

the year after we had VIP parking, but that doesn't get you out of there much quicker. our flight wasn't until Monday, so we didn't care

if you're in a squeeze, try to get seating somewhere around t11, leave 3 laps before the checkered flag and park closely. that exit will be your best chance.
 
Agree with Phl, the parking lot was the worst part, prob 45m to funnel our way out to the local highways. Once on those roads travel was not an issue.
