Andretti is one of the most widely successful drivers in motorsport history, having won the 1978 Formula 1 world championship and taken 12 victories in his F1 career, as well as winning the 1969 Indianapolis 500, the 1967 Daytona 500 and four Ind圜ar titles.
Turn 20 will become ‘The Andretti’ and complete the lap as the circuit also celebrates its tenth anniversary. The 82-year-old – who last weekend drove a modern McLaren F1 car at Laguna Seca – will be honored with a naming ceremony on Thursday, October 20 in Austin, ahead of the race weekend getting underway. The track is recognizing the incredible career of Mario Andretti, who also drove the first ever lap of COTA when it opened in 2012. Circuit of the Americas will rename its final turn ‘The Andretti’ at this weekend’s United States Grand Prix.
