2026 COTA SpeedTour

Circuit of The Americas

About this event

The race at Circuit Of The Americas is one of the most popular events on SVRAs race calendar and serves as the season finale. The weekend routinely draws hundreds of vintage race cars with competitors from around the world vying for one of the coveted Bell Gold Helmets and bragging rights after competing on Americas only purpose-built Formula 1 track. 
 

Opened in 2012, the 20-turn, 3.4-mile circuit features a dramatic 133-foot incline leading to Turn 1, followed by a series of fast, sweeping and hairpin corners. Join SVRA at COTA—this is a must-do event for vintage racers and a must-visit destination for all car enthusiasts.
