Differences between Formula 1 and Circuit of the Americas

To many local residents who were not familiar with the sport, Formula 1 and Circuit of the Americas seem synonomous.  In fact, they are two very different separate entities run by very different people with very different goals. 

Formula 1 is a particular style of racing with a particular type of car- a single seat, open-wheeled vehicle using the highest level of technology available to the automotive industry.  Formula 1 is a type of racing governed by the International Automobile Federation (FIA).  Currently the rights to operate this racing series belong to a man named Bernie Ecclestone, a citizen of the UK.  Formula 1 is a true international sport, with races taking place on purpose built tracks and even city streets in countries all over the globe, on every continent except Antartica.  The drivers and constructors (manufacturers) are also from all over the globe, and have included not only companies such as Ferrari, Mercedes, and McLaren, but also Ford, Toyota, and Honda. 

The Circuit of the Americas is first and foremost a purpose built racetrack.  The track was designed to meet the specifications of a Formula 1 race, but can also accomodate various other types of racing, including MotoGP motorcycle racing, Australian V8 Supercars, and other types of racing as well.  The ownership of the Circuit of the Americas belongs largely to Texas Billionaire and media mogul Red McCombs and Austin businessman Robert (Bobbie) Epstein.  The track and associated facitilites were constructed in Southeast Travis County near Austin, Texas.
