It is well known in F1 that the spectator seats are spread throughout the track and the same is the case at COTA where the seats have been divided into various sections.
- 1. Main Grand Stand
The Main Grand Stand is the place to be if one wants to keep up with everything that is going on in the pitlane and usually the atmosphere is the best at this section of the track. However, the section also charges a lot of money to get a seat. It is very costly to get a seat on the main grandstand in COTA, and it costs a whopping $830.
2. Turn 1 and Turn 2 Grand Stand
At the start of the race, the bulk of the close-wheel action is seen at Turn 1 of the COTA track where all the cars are jockeying for positions and it makes it a great spot to view the race from. The Turn 1 grandstand is divided into three sections, upper, middle, and, lower and it costs $995 to get a seat on the upper level. Moreover, any exact info about the other two levels is not available.
