    Hi Folks,
    I’ve been out of the F1 scene for many years. My adult son however loves F1 and wants to do a Father-Son trip to COTA this year.
    Can anyone recommend a company that arranges a VIP-type package experience?
    Many thanks!!

    honestly do it yourself. cota is one of the least $$ f1 races in the world. The teams stay at The Fairmont in dt atx....stay there. Lots of great seats. Try to get at least the main grandstand, IN THE SHADE, club level. We have 4 PSLs in section 8 and we look directly into the Ferrari pits....

    I can tell you these guys are the best. We have used them three times in the past. Top-notch service, always available especially on GP weekend where the F1 Experience people disappear. I highly recommend them. They are family-owned and operated and are always in attendance with the group. They also provide private shuttle service to and from the venue all weekend. You tell them what you want and absolutely everything will be organized. To be honest, the premium is not very much if you compare to doing everything yourself as the above poster stated. it is just so easy, everything is done for you.

    Booked the Fairmont and have tix for turn 9.
    Fairmont doesn’t have a shuttle but I read there is a shuttle from downtown. I have rented a car (which I can cancel).
    Would you guys who know the scene use the downtown shuttle or just get a parking pass and drive?
    Thanks!

    (btw the Fairmont is pricey! 3 nights per room is over $7K! :eek:)

    Parking pass and drive. Turn 9 is where we usually sit. Great spot if your up higher.

    We got our seats through the FCA and they had a lot we used right behind turn 9.
