Overview

• Promoters agreed an eight-year extension that keeps the United States Grand Prix on the calendar through 2034, replacing a deal that was due to end after 2026.
• F1 announced the renewal just hours before Sunday’s race, formalizing Austin’s role in the series’ U.S. footprint.
• COTA will overtake Watkins Glen as the longest-serving U.S. F1 venue, with recent editions attracting roughly 430,000–450,000 spectators across the weekend.
• Formula 1 cites about $7 billion in economic impact to Austin and Texas since 2012, alongside a state program that has paid more than $300 million toward race fees.
• The term is shorter than Miami’s contract to 2041, as COTA plans paddock club and pit garage expansions to support continued growth and Cadillac’s 2026 entry.
