2026 United States Formula 1 Grand Prix at Circuit of the Americas

3-Day / 3 night Trip: Friday - Sunday, October 23-25, 2026

We’re thrilled to announce an exciting opportunity for NEQ members to experience one of the most exciting races on the Formula One calendar: the 2026 United States Grand Prix at Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas.

Formula 1 at Circuit of the Americas is electric on its own. Experiencing it with fellow members takes it to another level. From shared grandstand views and post-session breakdowns to dinners in downtown Austin and casual meetups throughout the weekend, this trip is built around community as much as racing. You’ll have the flexibility to explore on your own, with the added benefit of a built-in crew when you want it.

This will be a club-organized, social-first motorsports trip with a focus on shared experiences, incredible racing, and minimal logistics stress, thanks to our generous friends at Yarmouth Motorsport, who have waived their fee to make this happen.

Registering here is only to create a list of interested people.
Final bookings for tickets, hotels, and any events will be managed directly outside MotorsportReg.

Here’s what to expect:

We'll book it all for you. You just book your flight, and we'll arrange the meetups for transport and dinner
Multiple Ticket/Seat options for a full 3-day F1 experience (Friday–Sunday)
Flexible hotel packages ranging from more affordable to higher-end. AirBnB options available for groups of 6 or more that plan early.
Time to enjoy the food, music, and culture that makes Austin unforgettable.
Casual NEQ meetups and group activities throughout the weekend.
Easy Logistics: No need to rent a car. Rideshare in Austin is simple, and we'll arrange optional transport to the track and back from the hotels.
Once we have numbers, we'll share optional pricing for arranged transfers.

Packages and Pricing:

Ticket Options

These are all good tickets. At this event, hospitality and paddock club access is extremely expensive and starts in the $3,000/ticket range. If this is something that interests you we'll add that option to the form submission

[Good] Turn 12 - Upper Levels: $900/seat
End of long back straight. Lots of over-taking into the turn
[Better] Turn 15 - Middle Levels: $1,300/seat
“Stadium” section. Excellent view on exit of back straight and S-turns into final section
[Best] Turn 1 – Best Available: $1,500/seat
Top of the front straight. Lots of great overtaking and one of the most exciting first corners on the calendar

Event Hotel Options

These hotels will put you in good spots for the event and downtown Austin entertainment, too. We'll also organize transportation to and from the track from these three hotels. (Pricing to be negotiated, and is not included in the hotel pricing below.)

If you would like to find your own lodging, that's absolutely fine. Rideshare (Uber/Lyft etc) is very accessible in Austin. Austin also offers excellent VRBO and Airbnb options. If you’re traveling with a larger group or are willing to coordinate with other members attending, the cost per person can be significantly lower than hotel rates. In many cases, shared rentals can reduce lodging costs by nearly half while giving you more space and flexibility for the weekend.

Pricing below is for Thursday arrival and Sunday departure after the race.

[Good] Home2Suites (East Austin) - $2,300/room
Located in East Austin. Closer to track, Short Uber to downtown. Bigger Suites
[Better] Doubletree Inn Downtown - $2,250/room
Great access to restaurants and weekend events downtown
[Best] Cambria - $3,050/room
Walkable to restaurants and weekend events downtown

Event Dates

While we have priced everything for a Sunday evening departure, we can easily rework the pricing to include or exclude hotel days. If you want to stay an extra night to catch the Turnpike Troubadours, for example, we can sort that out. If you want to arrive on Friday or Saturday AM, and miss some of the practice sessions, we can make that happen.
