COTA Driving Experience
Event Information
The COTA Driving Experience is back in January & February of 2026! We are giving you one more shot to experience the thrill of driving on the legendary CIrcuit of The Americas. Follow the footsteps of legendary drivers like Lewis Hamilton & Max Verstappen as you go around the only Formula 1 Purpose built track in the USA. We are delivering a one-of-a-kind experience by telling the story of the circuit and sharing its rich history during our briefing & track familiarization portion of the program. Participants will gain insight into how the greats conquered the iconic climb up Turn 1, the rhythmic flow of the Esses, the fast back straight, and the legendary carousel wrapping around the COTA tower. Drivers will then conquer the track themselves, gaining speed every lap. Drivers won’t just experience the track but also build confidence, refine their skills, and push their limits just like the pros who have raced here before. Guests aged 25+ have the opportunity to drive a 2025 BMW M3 Competition xDrive. Guests aged 21-24 have the opportunity to drive a 2025 BMW M340i.
