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.

If you're interested in our valet, chauffeur, shuttle management, or any of our other services, please don't hesitate to Contact Us today.

Upcoming events at Uptown Valet & Transportation

It's starting to feel like autumn in Austin and that means the fall wedding and event season is upon us. October is probably only behind May as the busiest wedding month in Austin, and we'll be working every weekend providing valet services, getaway limos for the bride and grooom, shuttle coordination and more at some of the nicest wedding venues in Austin. We worked this past weekend at Laguna Gloria and the evening weather was lovely, and there's only going to be more of that on the way.

The Austin City Limits Music Festival will occur from October 12-14 and will feature a lineup of some of the best artists in the country. While some of our employees will no doubt be enjoying the music, we will be able to handle most any request that comes our way. If you're coming into town and need a ride from the airport, we can help you out. If you've got a party going on that weekend (ACL-related and otherwise) and need valets to manage your guest cars, let us know.

Circuit of the Americas will bring Formula One racing to Austin and we are going to see all of our services booked up for that weekend.  We've been renting out our limousines and luxury cars for months now and getting some valet and shuttle work as well. If you're looking for anything transportation related around the Circuit of the Americas, let us know quickly so we can allocate everything we can to meet your needs.

There are a slew of other, smaller events going on as well. If you're coming into town for the Austin Film Festival, Fantastic Fest, Texas Book Festival or any other event this season, let us know - chauffeur, airport transportation, shuttle services - whatever it is you need we'd be happy to help. Contact us or make a reservation today.

Austin and Uptown Valet getting ready for Circuit of The Americas

We're excited that after four years Formula One racing will return to the United States. The Circuit of the Americas race will occur on November 16-18 and it's something we've been getting ready for for a while now and something which we will continue working towards until all the races are over.

Construction is continuing and tickets go on sale this Sunday, with prices starting at $159 for a three-day pass. It will bring millions of dollars to Austin and has helped create a bunch of interest in the city. 

We've already had some of our chauffeur services booked for that weekend and all luxury transportation companies, ourselves included, expect to be slammed that weekend. If you're looking to arrive at the Circuit of Americas race in style and comfort, let us know. We have limos and luxury vehicles available and we will be using them all on race date.

We also have our experienced valets available for work that weekend. They're the best in the business and are used to running large-scale private events. If it's something we've never seen before then we'll put our years of experience into figuring out the best transportation services for your event.

We're extremely excited for that weekend even though we know it will be one of our busiest. If you need any transportation services, we hope you'll choose Uptown Valet.
