Yep. This will be the premiere track in the Western Hemisphere, and F1 and MotoGP is just the beginning.
It's also cool that Austin will finally have a permanent amphitheater again, capable of hosting the biggest of acts when the track is complete. Right now, the largest permanent outdoor venue in the Austin area is The Backyard, which only holds 5,000.
You can only host so many concerts in Zilker Park a year, and some of those shows you see going to the amphitheaters in Houston and Dallas, and in the past in Selma (or even Southpark Meadows way back), will be coming to Austin (again).
