Who's up for drawing one? I would ... but I'm useless at all things artistic. I figure we'll need one soon before people start uploading the image from the Statesman in place of the empty field. Prisonermonkeys ( talk) 06:51, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
May I ask why this article is written in British over American since this article is about a track in the United States?-- Daytona 500 22:35, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
The use of British English is my doing; I'm Australian, so that's the way I'm used to writing. Feel free to Americanise it if you think it's necessary, though I would argue that because CotA is being used for a racing series that uses metric as its official measurement, metric - rather than Imperial - should be used.

The article says that the circuit is more physically demanding because it's an anti-clockwise one, giving it more left-hand turns than right. How is this more physically demanding? If it is, indeed, that then a short explanation is needed in the article; otherwise that statement should be amended or removed. Bazza ( talk) 08:36, 23 November 2012 (UTC)
The track might be placed on the Indy Car calendar so shouldn't the article have a little more mention about other race series held there instead of just Formula One. Speedy Question Mark ( talk) 22:45, 8 September 2013 (UTC)
The circuit map contains two things that need revising, but I don't have a good way to edit the image. First, the person who created it ignored WP:ENGVAR and used the strange French style of having a comma as the decimal point. That should be changed to use a period. Second, the abbreviation "km" is incorrectly written as "Km" (uppercase "K"). Can someone correct these things? 1995hoo ( talk) 14:56, 5 November 2014 (UTC)

I went through and changed it throughout the entire article a while back and then saw it was changed back. I am 100% positive that it should be "Circuit of The Americas." 72.48.143.68 ( talk) 18:51, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton set a new lap record for this track today, but I'm not sure if it counts, because it was in qualifying, not during the actual race. Does it? Nosecohn ( talk) 02:54, 21 October 2018 (UTC)
The Circuit of the Americas is NOT in Austin, TX. It is technically in Elroy, TX, an unincorporated town surrounded by Del Valle, TX. Please quit changing it because of incorrect information on their websites. http://propaccess.traviscad.org/clientdb/Property.aspx?cid=1&prop_id=741051 — Preceding unsigned comment added by AndersLindergaard ( talk • contribs) 03:02, 23 October 2018 (UTC)
I know of an open source resource for track CSV file with the GPS coordinates. I think this should be part either of this page or WikiData, but I'm not sure exactly how or if I should to proceed as I'm fairly new to Wiki. ArtemisXLVII ( talk) 13:42, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
Why is Verstappen's 1:32.910 counted as a race lap record when he set it during qualifying? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.105.194.55 ( talk) 08:39, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
I think that the major events should only have the race wiki page like the United States Grand Prix or the Texas Grand Prix, the minor events or minor former events shouldn't have one since it's not of importance. - Rodrigo1198 ( talk) 23:49, 31 December 2021 (UTC) Rodrigo1198 ( talk) 17:49, 31 December 2021 (UTC)
Circuit of the Americas has too many former events that a section was needed. It made the infobox long and very confusing to read the events. I moved Minor Events as well they served no purpose on the major events and they are more than 5 minor events, I added a new section for Minor Events. Rodrigo1198 ( talk) 20:46, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
The record lap times are described to be acclompished on the Grand Prix Circut Layout. But some of the records are set on different, shorter track layouts. For example the Pirelli World Challenge GT drives a 2.3 Miles long variant of the course according to the linked source. Therefore the times are not compareable and should be removed from the list. Also Porsche Carrera Cup 2013 and 2013 Austin 400 drove a different layout. 80.187.126.44 ( talk) 09:43, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
