F1 Weekend Review

Uptown Valet and Transportation had our busiest weekend ever with the Formula One races in Austin back in November. We had a host of parties to valet at, our chauffeurs working round the clock and official Circuit of the Americas shuttles to drive and manage.

We started back in August, with the Circuit of the Americas Shift into Style Austin Fashion Week kick-off. A busy event at the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum, it was an exciting night and an excellent combination of events, as Circuit of the Americans and Austin Fashion Week both know how to put on a show.

The weekend of the races, we had valet attendants at multiple parties Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. We parked more cars in that time than probably any three day period, with venues ranging from southeast Austin near the track, to downtown, to out closer to Johnson City where we parked cars for a party sponsored by Ferrari. Read our write-up of it here.

We also had shuttles wrapped with Circuit of the Americas branding in service throughout the weekend in addition to our chauffeurs working in all our cars as well as some that we made use of just for the weekend.  We closed out the weekend by returning to the Bob Bullock Museum, managing parking for the Circuit of the Americas Official After Party.

It was a busy weekend that we were happy to have gotten through well. Our staff and the people we worked with all weekend long were fantastic, and we look forward to working on Circuit of the Americas F1 events in Austin in 2013.

Austin and Uptown Valet getting ready for Circuit of the Americas

COTA

We are getting closer and closer to having Formula One racing here in the heart of Texas with the Circuit of the Americas race set to take place from November 16-19. Tickets have been selling quickly and the town has been getting ready for months. It will bring unprecedented traffic to southeast Austin and they’re even getting ready for large amounts of helicopter traffic.

There are multiple events leading up to the race, highlighted by the Formula Run footrace and the  Shift into Style kick-off for Austin Fashion Week. Shift into Style will feature F1 race cars, special previews of race fashions, and will have valet parking from Uptown Valet; it's an event we're excited to work at.

Don't wait until the last minute if you need any transportation services; we will be fully booked for the weekend and want to get to work on what you need as soon as possible so we can help make your Circuit of the Americas experience the best it can be. If you need valet services for an F1 party, need a chauffeur to the race, shuttles coordinated or any other transportation service, let us know.
