When they had F1 out here in Phoenix for a couple of years the drivers, in their interviews, said it was really different here; they could walk around freely and go to local restuarants and such and no one would bug them because no one knew who they were. Relatively speaking, F1 was pretty much a non-event here.

If Austin wants F1 to be successful there they should look at what Phoenix did -- and do the opposite.
