Itinerary
Wednesday 2st October
Upon arrival at Austin–Bergstrom International Airport, your tour host will greet you at baggage claim and escort you directly to the recently renovated Embassy Suites San Marcos. Ideally located just 30 minutes from the Circuit of the Americas and 40 minutes from downtown Austin, the hotel also sits next door to the San Marcos Premium Outlets, home to more than 240 outlet stores for those who love to shop. After check-in, we’ll gather in the hotel lounge for the Manager’s Reception, where you’ll have the chance to meet your fellow travellers.
Thursday 2nd October
After enjoying breakfast at the hotel, you can spend the morning relaxing by the outdoor pool, shopping at the nearby outlets, or taking advantage of our shuttle service to downtown Austin. We’ll reconvene in the early afternoon and head to the track for the exclusive Thursday Pit Walk, where you’ll stroll along Pit Lane, watch the cars being prepared for Friday’s practice sessions, and perhaps even run into a driver or two. The evening is yours to enjoy at leisure, the Downtown Austin shuttle will be running this evening until 11pm.
Friday 2rd October
Immediately after breakfast, we’ll head to the track for Practice Day, where you can watch the Formula 1 teams test different strategies and tire compounds across both sessions as they evaluate their cars on the circuit. Support races will take place throughout the day, adding to the on-track action. Around lunchtime, we’ll regroup and walk to the iconic COTA Tower, ascending to the 230-foot observation deck for breathtaking panoramic views of the entire circuit. At day’s end, we’ll return to the hotel, with the Austin shuttle operating again in the evening until 11:00 p.m.
Saturday 2th October
Today is Qualifying Day, and we’ll head to the track early to catch the third Formula 1 practice session before the real excitement begins after lunch with the one-hour qualifying showdown. The intensity of the battle for pole position is unmatched, and we’ll be watching closely to see who secures a front-row spot for tomorrow’s race. After the on-track action concludes, we’ll remain at the circuit for the evening’s headlining concert. Your package includes General Admission access, with the option to upgrade to a reserved area closer to the stage.
Sunday 2th October
It’s Race Day! We’ll head back to the track for the main event, where the atmosphere is nothing short of electric. Feel the roar of the engines as more than 20 cars battle for supremacy and vital championship points in the fight for the Formula 1 World Championship. Will McLaren dominate once again in 2026, or will Mercedes, Red Bull, and Ferrari close the gap and mount a serious challenge? After the race, we’ll return to the hotel, and we highly recommend taking the shuttle into downtown Austin to join in the post-race celebrations and soak up the city’s legendary nightlife.
Monday 2th October
Check out of the hotel after one final breakfast, and our driver will take you back to the airport for your flight home.
