Weather update in Austin: Floods at COTA!

Because of the massive amounts of rain, the Circuit of the Americas in Austin is currently a chaos. A few of the roads at the American track are currently under water, and more rain is expected in the coming days.

Back in 2015, the second Free Practice session at COTA was even cancelled because of the weather circumstances. Looking at the weather in Texas for this weekend, we think this could well happen again.

Especially on Friday, a lot of rain is expected to fall, but on Saturday the visitors best bring their umbrella's too. However, the race itself on Sunday will most likely stay dry.

Even though the little floods at Circuit of the Americas will most likely not jeopardize anything come this weekend, it is a bit concerning that this isn't the first time that it's happened. As we said, it wasn't much different just three years ago, when FP2 was cancelled because of the brutal weather.
