About this audio guide
This guide to Circuit of the Americas outside Austin follows the crews who built the Formula One track between two thousand eleven and two thousand twelve, working against a plan slashed from twenty-one months to fifteen. You will hear about the ranchland it rose from, the clay and rain that fought the excavation, and the contract dispute that briefly sent hundreds of workers home. Listen near the front straight, where the paving crews once measured their progress by the foot.
