F-1 has stumbled repeatedly in the US, very little grass roots enthusiasm. It appears the Austin bid for permanence is working on the, destination-for-the-rich-and-famous-to-see-and-be-seen, like the dog and pony show surrounding the F-1 races everywhere.
I would call attention to the fact that automobile racing in dozens of forms other than NASCAR are enjoyed by millions in the US every weekend. The SCCA is working on building a brand new multi-million dollar track in New England, with NO spectator facilities, NO TV facilities, strictly for racers and crews.
