I would agree that Texas is NASCAR...but Austin certainly is not. Not that the population of Austin alone makes up for that fact...but geographically it is perfect for not only Texas and the US but also Central and South American fans. A Mexican driver Perez leads the GP2 points so he'll probably be up in F1 by 2012...huge draw there. Austin also has the capacity to hold tons of visitors because of all of the very large music festivals...and generally is a fantastic city. The press release on formula1.com has many city highlights and reasons they chose the location.
