This is simply not true at all. By putting a track in the middle of the desert in a country where nobody gives a hair about car racing, you are having the sport racing somwhere where nobody shows up to see the race. This is an unsustainable practice.
Sounds like Austin to me...
What do you mean? Even at the abortion of a racetrack Indy was, they sold 300,000 tickets over a weekend. Austin is thriving mid sized city. People say f1 isn't popular in US but that as a percentage of overall population. The US has enough F1 fans to dwarf almost any European country. You're just mad because you think US should beg for a race like other countries, when in reality F1 begs to be in the US.
