Plan ahead and manage expectations Communicate early and often with law enforcement

and surrounding communities Make use of helicopter cameras with access from the

command center Expect entreprenurial parking around the CoTA site

with pedestrian activities Minimize contra-flow. Expect U-turns. Have a central command center that can make quick

decisions and that has resources ready to deploy that are staged in strategic locations.

Have a back-up plan

Lessons Learned

NY Times – 11/19/2012

This was a "victory for Austin, which went to great

lengths to ensure success after the series failed to

take hold at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway"

from '00-07. There also were "almost none of the

anticipated traffic concerns." From a "sporting

point of view, Austin delivered in a way that

Indianapolis failed, by providing a track built for

Formula One cars"
