If you’re looking to master one of the most technical tracks in Assetto Corsa EVO, this COTA Lap Guide is exactly what you need.
The Circuit of the Americas is a complex and highly demanding circuit: 5.5 km (3.41 miles) in length, 40 meters (130 feet) of elevation change, and 20 turns that include high-speed esses, heavy braking zones, and tight hairpins. It’s a track that rewards knowledge and precision—and punishes hesitation.
To help you improve your driving skills, professional sim racer and vehicle handling tester for Assetto Corsa EVO Nils Naujoks takes you corner by corner in a full track guide, driving the Porsche 911 Turbo 3.6 (964) on road tires.
What you’ll learn:
- Braking techniques for steep entries like Turn 1 and Turn 12
- The best line through the high-speed esses, with tips on balance and rhythm
- How to approach technical corners like Turn 15 and the carousel section (Turns 16–18)
- Maximizing speed and power down the 1 km (0.62 mile) back straight—even reaching over 250 km/h
- Shift timing, braking points, and how to use kerbs without upsetting the car
