Grand Prix of the Americas
The Grand Prix of the Americas serves as the third round of the 2026 Moto3 World Championship. The Circuit of the Americas is the first purpose-built Grand Prix facility in the U.S. near Austin, Texas, with a 5.513 km track and a capacity for 120,000 fans. The facility was completed in 2012, with MotoGP racing at the track for the first time in 2013 - one of its more distinctive features is a near 41-meter elevation change with an impressive incline at the end of the home-straight followed by a sharp left. The 20-corner counterclockwise layout deliberately incorporates elements inspired by other iconic circuits: the steep uphill braking zone at Turn 1, the flowing Turns 3-6 reminiscent of Silverstone's Maggotts-Becketts, and the triple-apex Turns 16-18 echoing Istanbul Park's Turn 8, while its 41 metres of elevation change and famously bumpy surface make it physically demanding.
