Anyway, CoTA is the 'best' track in North America. The circuit itself is extremely wide, which is optimal for multiclass racing, has excellent, spotless, ultramodern paddock facilities, and countless luxury accommodations readily available within a 20 minute drive from Downtown Austin. Finally, the amount of major metropolitan areas close by, and therefore a large potential spectator pool, is truly staggering:
- Austin–Round Rock–San Marcos (approx. pop: 1,700,000)
- San Antonio–New Braunfels (approx. pop: 2,100,000)
- Houston–Sugar Land–Baytown (approx. pop: 6,000,000)
- Dallas–Fort Worth–Arlington (approx. pop: 6,500,000)
That's over 16 million people on tap for the race. Getting them to come is a different story.
