Turn One at the Circuit of the Americas

They're calling it the Austin Turn. Why? Because it's high and tight to the left. The signature turn one was the brain child of Circuit of the Americas creator Tavo Hellmund: Not only is it a challenge for the drivers, one like nothing else on the F1 calendar, but it will be a defining camera shot. Every time the camera tracks up from the starting line, it will be the Austin skyline on TVs across the planet.
