Formula 1 today announced that the United States Grand Prix at the Circuit of The Americas (COTA) in Austin, Texas, is set to remain on the calendar until the 2034 season.

The Texas facility first appeared on the Formula 1 calendar in 2012.
"Since 2012 the United States Grand Prix has continued to grow in strength and popularity, and I want to thank the City of Austin and Travis County for hosting us. Each year, the event at the Circuit of the Americas stands out as a true highlight for fans, drivers, and teams alike, drawing hundreds of thousands of passionate supporters who come to witness the thrilling on-track action and soak up the vibrant energy of the circuit and the city," said Stefano Domenicali, president and CEO of Formula. "As Formula 1 continues to grow and thrive in the United States, we are proud to extend our partnership with Bobby Epstein and his outstanding team in Austin, as well as with Governor Abbott, whose leadership has been instrumental in supporting the sport's development in Texas and beyond. Both have shown unwavering commitment to F1, and their shared vision and investment have played a vital role in establishing the strong foundation we now enjoy in the U.S."
"We're glad Formula 1 has found a home in Texas, and are grateful to the fans, teams, and the entire F1 community who have consistently supported us and made The United States Grand Prix a favorite stop on the global calendar. Equally, we're proud of--and appreciate--the people of Central Texas who have been such welcoming hosts," said Bobby Epstein, chairman of Circuit of The Americas. "With this contract, COTA will overtake Watkins Glen as the longest serving Formula 1 track in the United States.
