Opened in 2012, the Circuit of The Americas (COTA), near Austin, Texas, is one of the most well-known international circuits in the United States. Covering 5.513 kilometres and featuring 20 corners, the track is renowned for its unique layout. This venue, which has hosted the FIA WEC on seven occasions, has seen Ferrari secure one outright victory in 2024 with the number 83 499P of the AF Corse privateer team, as well as two class wins in the GT categories.

COTA hosted the FIA World Endurance Championship from 2013 to 2017, again in the 2019–20 season, and then from 2024 onwards, when fans witnessed the debut of the Maranello-based manufacturer’s 499Ps at the Texan track. They proved able to claim pole position, thanks to the official number 51 crew of Alessandro Pier Guidi, James Calado and Antonio Giovinazzi (with Giovinazzi setting the Hyperpole).

The Prancing Horse also won the race, with the trio of Ferrari official driver Yifei Ye, Robert Shwartzman and Robert Kubica on a historic date, 1 September 2024. This event entered the record books as the first time in the Maranello-based manufacturer’s history that Ferrari won two world championship races on the same day. The endurance triumph in America came hours after Charles Leclerc’s victory at the F1 Italian Grand Prix contested in Monza.

The roll of honour for the 6 Hours of COTA, also known as the Lone Star Le Mans, also includes two class victories with production-derived cars. In 2017, Alessandro Pier Guidi and James Calado won the LMGTE Pro category with the AF Corse Ferrari 488 GTE, at the end of a race that also saw teammates Davide Rigon and Sam Bird claim third place in the same car. Ferrari’s first class victory at COTA came in 2015, courtesy of Andrea Bertolini, Aleksey Basov, and Victor Shaytar in an LMGTE Am-entered Ferrari 458 Italia.
