With the F1 track more easily accessible from our side of the county line, we invite you to stay in Bastrop County to enjoy the nearby COTA Cars & Coffee Summer Series, and find other entertainment and outdoor activities in our region east of Austin, Texas.

Here’s the event, held over three Sundays this summer. Cars and Coffee is returning to Circuit of The Americas this summer and offers a unique experience to admire a wide-variety of Texas’ finest automobiles including racecars, hot rods, supercars, JDM’s, muscle cars and more! In addition to the casual car meetup, fans will be able to view on-track and off-track action. This horsepower-fueled event will feature a replay of the 2021 Formula 1 Aramco United States Grand Prix. Watch Max Verstappen land his first win on U.S. soil after battling Lewis Hamilton wheel-to-wheel for first place.

These events are FREE for spectators. For those interested in showcasing their car, register now (or on-site) for $10.
