The Austin 400[1] was a motor racing event for V8 Supercars that took place at the Circuit of the Americas in Travis County near Austin, Texas, United States of America in 2013.[2]

History

Its inaugural running took place between 17 and 19 May 2013, as the fifth round of the 2013 International V8 Supercars Championship.[3] The race marked the category's first event in the United States, and featured four races of Шаблон:Convert.[4]

Demise

The race was not held in 2014 due to the track hosting the X Games; regarding the scheduling conflict, V8 Supercar chief executive James Warburton stated, "The timing of COTA securing the X Games next year led to the mutual agreement of a gap-year before consolidating, planning and returning to Texas in 2015."[5]

On 28 August 2014, it was announced that V8 Supercars and the Circuit of the Americas had agreed to terminate the current contract.[6] It is unlikely that V8 Supercars will return to the US for the foreseeable future.
