The Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, has gotten plenty of press this year, but what’s it all about?
There’s a lot more to the track itself than its owners’ battle with Kevin Schwantz; it’s a great roadracing venue. Costa got to test the latest edition of the Panigale there, and the MotoGP circuit is about to make a visit there (there’s already been some MotoGP testing there).
Here’s what the track looks like from a racer’s point of view, thanks to CRT team Attack Performance and rider Blake Young.
