Trendy name for the new racetrack/event venue outside austin.
Does anyone know how one might get connectivity there? I figure there
must be a few folks here prepping the place for the upcoming formula
1.
The place seems to be a black hole to all the usual suspects.

Since AS6453 is the official connectivity/technology sponsor for FOM, I suspect they will be leasing some dark fiber to COTA for the F1 race. Some of the F1 teams have their own telecom sponsors (Vodafone McLaren, etc) which will be doing the same. Don't know who would be pulling the actual fiber though...
BTW - I will be there for the race as well (went to all the USGP races at IMS) - perhaps a NANOG meetup may be in order?

teams are provide an MPLS connection back to their respective factory. I
seem to recall was an insanely small connection for what is the "pinnacle of
motorsports"... something like 4mbit or so.
Admittedly this was input from only one team, and a "lower tier" team at
that. This was also last year (2011).
I remember being distinctly surprised at the relatively low amount of
bandwidth they were provided at the track.
