BREAKING: Formula One coming to Austin, Texas in 2012 — Autoblog

I for one would love this to happend, BUT with the state and cities budget shortfalls don't see this multi-million dollar track becoming a reality.

It's definitely going to happen. Private investors are building the track, and this will be HUGE for the Central Texas economy. It's like getting a Super Bowl for 10 years. Although, while it is exciting, I'm sure that just like the Super Bowl, this event is for the elite and will price most of the locals out.

As I said on another forum; They couldn't get enough fans to keep it a yearly event at Indy. How are they going to do it in hot and muggy Texas?

I am all for motorsports but this one is a long shot at best.
