Great experience but completely overpriced and the parking situation was HORRENDOUS! It took us 3 hours to get out after F1. Holy cow it was THE WORST experience. Our 16-yo had the time of his life (… Full review by mrstimmons1

The race and the views were great, but the overall experience at COTA was bad. I have been to another 5 F1 gran prix and I`ve never seen an awful logistics and organization like COTA. Parking, Shut… Full review by erikn458

Q:
I'm heading to Austin for the MotoGP meeting in April 2023. Has anyone got recent experience of traveling to the Austin (COTA) track for the MotoGP meeting? I'm heading to Austin and staying down town. I was expecting to jump on a shuttle bus from down town to the track (and back) each day. From what I'm reading the shuttle buses only run for the F1 meeting? Anyone know if that is correct? Anyone got experience of traveling to the track from down town and what would you suggest as the best option? TIA.

Since I've now been I'll answer my own question. There are no shuttle buses available for MotoGP. There is no public transport that goes to the circuit. The only option for us, staying in downtown Austin, was to hire a car and drive. The traffic was not too bad. The journey took 30 mins on the Saturday for qualifying and an extra 20 minutes on the Sunday. Note - most of this extra delay was due to Austin holding its annual marathon run on the same day (why would you do that!) . Lots of the roads in Austin city centre were closed, so it was difficult actually getting out of town. The drive to the circuit was not too bad. Traffic was quite well organised. I decided the official parking for 3 days ($300!!) was ridiculous. I opted for a private spot on the south of the circuit. Just outside Lot T, there are several much cheaper private options. From these, you walk directly into Lot T. They were about a 10th of the price. The one I picked even had the facility to pre book and pre pay. The other benefit with these spots is you walk past all the queues of cars waiting to exit Lot T, get into your car, and leave. It worked great
