Circuit of The Americas confirmed the return of the Formula 1 United States Grand Prix to Austin, Texas, on October 21–23.

Following Lewis Hamilton’s championship-clinching win at last year’s wet and windy race, widely considered to be the best of the 2015 season, COTA is thrilled to welcome F1 back to Austin for the fifth year running. Furthermore, with the addition of Haas F1 Team—the first American-led Formula One outfit since 1986—to the grid, this year’s race will take on extra significance for fans of F1 in the US.

Bobby Epstein, Chairman and CEO of Circuit of The Americas, commented on the announcement: “We are so happy to confirm F1’s return to COTA.... We can’t think of a better way to mark this important 5-year milestone for F1 in Austin. Since we first hosted this event in 2012, we have gained a lot of knowledge and insight that has allowed us to make significant annual improvements to the event that we are confident will continue to establish the Formula 1 United States Grand Prix as the standout race weekend on F1’s calendar.”
